Got out tonight for a run which was good. I didn't have time to go over and run with the club, due to a scout meeting tonight. Anyway I did a nice easy 6 miler. I ran up by this newer subdivision and met up with a realtor who showed me a few of the homes he has for sale. For the last year Sunny and I have been going back and forth about selling our home, building a new home, staying where we are, or buying a bigger home. Anyway, it was nice I caught up with this guy and he showed me a few of the models. After looking around I took off and finished up the run. I didn't notice too much pain in the hip so that was good. Cumulus-269 The last two months I've been struggling with my training and trying to get over this hip injury that has bothered me for much of 2007. Mentally I feel like I'm ready to get back into training on a more consistent basis, I just wish I could get over some of these nagging injuries. Recently, I went back and looked over some of the goals I sat at the beginning of the year. 1. Run 2500 miles- I'm not going to hit this number, but I am going to shoot for 2000 (I'm about 150 miles short right now) 2. Run all community races- I feel like I did a pretty good job of running lots of races this past year. And trying to support the local community. In fact I might be putting on a 10K race in La Verkin in March 3. Improve marathon time to under 2:40- Did not reach this goal, (2:44:59) but feel I should be able to run under 2:40 with a better year of training this coming year. 4. Do the Utah Grand Slam- Was a goal, but something I'm glad I didn't do
5. Run an average of 50 miles a week. Another area where I came up short, but something that a little better effort and scheduling I should easily be able to do. 6. Continue to enjoy running. This was a goal which I met and feel good about. I've really enjoyed running lately and especially meeting new people through racing and the blog. 7. Improve Diet- My diet was pretty good throughout much of the summer and leading up to the marathon. However, much improvement is still needed. 8. Get weight down to 140 lbs- After the marathon I was at 136, and most of the summer I was right around 140 so I was happy with that. Still I think being down around 130-135 would make me a little faster as a runner. Anyway, these were some of my goals for 2007. From looking back at some of these things, looks like I need to improve on many of them in 2008
