Anyone else know that song?\u00a0 Anyone?\u00a0 Bueller?\u00a0 Bueller?<\/p>\n

Nevermind.<\/p>\n

My goal this year isn’t to walk 500 miles, but rather to run 600 miles.\u00a0 It’s been a goal for the past couple of years, and I have yet to make it.\u00a0 It sounds like a lot, but when you break it down, it’s not too bad.\u00a0 50 miles a month.\u00a0 Definitely doable if I stick to a schedule.<\/p>\n

So far, so good.\u00a0 Races in both January and February didn’t hurt.\u00a0 I managed around 75 miles in January, which is a great way to start out ahead of the curve.\u00a0 I will easily hit my 50 miles this month unless I get injured or sick and don’t run my half marathon (which I hope doesn’t happen – knock on wood!).<\/p>\n

I like setting these sorts of goals.\u00a0 If I make them, great!\u00a0 If I don’t, I will try better next time.\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t control my health or my injuries – not really, anyway.\u00a0 I can just try to keep myself in the best shape possible so that I can get all of my miles in.\u00a0\u00a0 That means getting a proper amount of sleep, eating well, and sticking to a reasonable training schedule.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of races planned for this year.\u00a0 I just signed up for two more and plan to sign up for yet another at the Princess expo.\u00a0 The two spring races are what I’m considering “supported training runs.”\u00a0 I’m not going to push, I’m just going to go out and enjoy the course and the fact that I can get in a training run between half marathons and not have to carry all my water with me.\u00a0 Oh, and get some fun finisher’s items as well.<\/p>\n

And the most important part, run with my friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
