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!
