I've made the decision to be better (read: actually start!) a running and training blog.  This will make me more accountable and perhaps help me find and assess the root of my training accomplishments and blunders.  In this I plan to:

 

  • List my goals for running/training by the end of this week.
  • Attach a weekly workout plan with a schedule for running, cycling, and strength.
  • Keep up a nutrition log to see where I can improve and how nutrition is affecting my training. Keep this up for 30 days.
  • Formulate a plan for racing next year and have key goal races (by the end of the week) instead of just signing up for races at a whim.
  • Update at least 5 days per week and a recap of the weekends for 1 month.
  • Keep a weight log and measurement log to track my progress for at least 30 days.  I have about 30 pounds to lose again.
  • As a gimmick to keep myself motivated, bring my phone and take one photo on each running day and upload to this training log.

 

These seem like reasonable and attainable goals.  I need to get back into a groove.  I've let so much slack on my training that I've put on much of the weight that I so successfully lost when I was in Texas.  This is bothering me immensely.  

Anyhow, fall is here and I'm ready to start at it again!

Sun, 02 Jan 2011 18:48:31 -0800 2010 Race Summary http://see-jane-run.posterous.com/2010-race-summary http://see-jane-run.posterous.com/2010-race-summary

2010 really was the year of more cycling and running for me than triathlon.  I had really planned to do 3 tri's for the 2010 season and I even joined USAT with that in mind, but in the end I only did 1.  Even so, I did a lot of running races and plenty of group cycling events and I feel really good about 2010. I am determined to do even more races in 2011 with a full marathon in June (my first!) and a half iron-man by the end of the season.  

 

Here's a race re-cap for 2010:

 

  • February 27 Cowtown 5k in Ft. Worth, TX
  • March 14, Rock 'n' Roll Dalls Half Marathon
  • April 4, Tour Dallas Bike ride, Dallas, TX
  • April 10, Lancaster Country ride, Lancaster, TX
  • April 17, Ft. Worth Zoo run
  • April 23, Germanfest Metric Century Ride, Muenster, TX
  • May, Katy Trail 5k, Dallas, TX
  • May 23, Ironhorse Sprint Triathlon, Cleburne, TX
  • June 26, Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Half Marathon, Seattle, WA
  • July 31, Goatneck 70 miler, Cleburne, TX
  • August, Richardson Corporate Challenge 5k, Richardson, TX
  • August, Richardson Corporate Challenge 9 mile Bike Ride, Richardson, TX
  • October 18, Firefly Run, Plano, TX
  • November 7, DRC Half Marathon, Dallas, TX
  • November 25, Dallas Turkey Trot 8 miler, Dallas, TX
  • December, White Rock Half Marathon, Dallas, TX
  • December 18, Jog'r Egg Nog'r 15K run, Dallas, TX

Here's to a great 2010 racing season and hopefully an even better 2011 season!

Sat, 25 Dec 2010 19:38:00 -0800 Christmas day run http://see-jane-run.posterous.com/37656189 http://see-jane-run.posterous.com/37656189

 

Christmas day run.  I waited way too late to do this one.  It was so cold.  I need to get in a better routine of doing these runs mid-day.  One benefit of running late, though, is seeing all the Christmas lights along Southwestern in the Village.  It is so pretty.
