Hello Friends,
It's been another month since I updated this but I assure you that I have still been trying to stay active. I ran a 10k on November 12th and finished it in a little under an hour. I had injured myself the previous week so I may not have been at a hundred percent. However, the biggest issue for me was that the energy of the race just wasn't there compared to the half marathon. When I ran the half I had people cheering me and the rest of the runners on through out the race. At this one it was just dead along the sides. My mom came to watch me, which I greatly appreciated. Since the 10k I've cut back on the running, but am going to start going hard again this week to work off that Thanksgiving meal that I had. (I think I over did it this year.)
While watching the Biggest Loser Where Are They Now Special, I saw that Tara Costa completed an ironman triathlon. This consists of swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles, and running 26.2 miles. This sounds like something I am capable of and plan on training for. I may not complete it by the end of 2012, but by the end of 2013 I will become an ironman.
So my goals for the next few years are:
A.) Lose the final 10 - 15 pounds (meet with a Doctor to find out what a healthy weight is for me to be at)
B.) Exercise everyday, and run at least 3 times a week
C.) Complete student teaching by the end of the 2012 semester
D.) Start my teaching career
E.) Complete a full marathon by Dec. 31st 2012
F.) Complete an iron man triathlon by Dec. 31st 2013
