Back at it!!! Finally!

So I have decided that since I didn't make my goal for the month of June or May but I have decided to try again for the month of July. I had set my goal of 30 miles for the month of July but so far I'm already at 21.1 miles for the month of July. So I have reset my goal to 60 miles! Yep, I know this is going to be an easy goal to obtain considering that I have been going out with my mom for the past several days! She has been pushing me to go and I'm glad she has been! If it has not been her pushing me then I might not be going out and losing the weight or anything else. I'm noticing that I'm starting to slim down and my pants and things aren't fitting like they used to. Yes! Something I've been definitely working on and am so proud of how it's coming along!

I will update more later but let the running and the blogging begin again! My funk is gone finally!!! Off to go for a run with mom again! Peace out people!!!

Goals for June

Ya know one thing that I have been bad at since my half marathon in February is sticking to the goals that I set for myself. I also had a hard time sticking to them before the race too but I think that now that I am losing more and more weight and am able to fit into more clothing, I am getting more confident about going out and running on my own. I want to be able to run a 10k before August 4th this summer so I need to find one that I can run. Also I have sent a goal for June this year! I have set a goal for June to run at least 1 mile a day or more! I can also walk if I need to like yesterday because my asthma was causing an issue for me but even walking it felt good for me. I like how I feel the next day when I get out and exercise! It also sets a good example for Olivia as well. This week is their last week of school and while it's all half days it's still worth it to us! We're excited about the summer and having all the fun things for us to do like next Monday heading to Myrtle Beach for a few days to go camping! Yay! I too will get out there and run! Can't stop me!!

So far in the month of June I have done 4 miles our of the 30 I want to do! I am starting my training now for the Wine & Dine so that I will be ready for it by November and will not injure myself then. I want the race to be enjoyable and not painful like my first half was! So bring it on people!

Goals & Dreams

One of my goals that I have made for myself is to run more for 2015! So far I have only run 1 race and I just got cleared on Friday to start running again by the doctor. Such good news there. But I have also made other goals for myself as well. I have set goals like signing up and running the Wine & Dine at Disney World in November which I will complete this year. But my main goal is to do the Dopey Challenge in January of 2016.

The Dopey Challenge is where you will run 4 races in 4 days. These races will include the 5k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon. I actually told Jason that I wanted to run the Goofy Challenge which was just the Half and Marathon but after talking more about it I thought to myself, I am going to do that then why not go the whole way! I mean it's just adding two more races to the mix of things! I know I can do it. I have to start training now for it and I know that I can do it! If you can put your mind to something then you can do it! I believe it will be just before classes start too for me so that will be an added bonus for me as well! I won't take Olivia out of school for this race of course and this will be most likely me going down by myself for these races. I may just while at Disney in September upgrade my tickets to an Annual Pass since I will be going to Disney a lot for these races. I am excited about my goals and dreams that I have.

2014 was a great year for me but I can tell that 2015 will be a even better year. I have already started it by just completed the Princess Half Marathon and I want to complete the Wine & Dine in under 3 hours! That is another big goal I have for myself. I will begin my training again on Tuesday which I am very excited about doing.

Milage for the Month Goal

So with it being a new year and a new month, I have decided to start with a goal and keep it. No more I am too lazy to run or anything. Unless it's thundering out and then I won't run outdoors! Sorry but I refuse to be struck by lightning in the south! But I have made a goal of running 50 miles this month. I have already done 3.5 miles even though the picture above says 3 miles. I did another half mile and just never posted it on there. But I plan on going on a 3-4 mile run tomorrow. Yay! This should be fun! I have never done a run that long before so this should be interesting for me indeed. Let's see how I fare tomorrow. But what are your goals for the month? Are you keeping up with what you run or walk?
