Running Accomplishments:

I'm a new runner (just started last year).  In that period of time I've done my first 5K (33:03), and my first 10 miler (1:53:11).  I'm now training for my very first triathlon!  I've also managed to lose 105 lbs in a year and a half.  I have 45 more to go.   

Short-Term Running Goals:

I'm working on my endurance and speed.  I want to be able to complete my Triathlon, and also a Half Marathon this year.  I'm hoping to shoot for a full Marathon next year.  

Long-Term Running Goals:

A dream goal of mine would be to qualify for the Boston Marathon.  I'm a SLOW runner, so this might be a LOT of work for me but I'll never know if I don't try!  

Personal:

I'm a single, professional musician living in Ohio.  I also work a day job, so my time is limited.  But I'm determined.  :)

Meant to log some miles today but between my schedule and the stress at work, my apartment is a DISASTER and I was low on food.  Food=fuel and judging by my calories today, I failed in the fuel department.  So I'm swapping around my days this week and getting in an extra 'active recovery' day . . . spent the evening cleaning and cooking.  

Now I'm all set and ready to tackle my week.  Have a good one everyone!

Quick mile at bootcamp on Tuesday.  Once my shows die down I'm going to have to work on increasing my mileage . . especially if I'm going to be running the Columbus Half Marathon in October.  Should start training for that very soon.  

Ran in the heat and humidity.  Felt great.  Lots of energy, could have gone longer but had to get to rehearsal.  

I'll slowly start to add more miles in the morning, once I'm done getting home at midnight.  :)

Again, just a quick run before training.  Anything is better than nothing I suppose!

Quick Triathlon brick before work.  Did 4 miles on the bike in 11 minutes and 2 miles on the treadmill in 20 minutes.  Slower than I would have liked but it was HIDEOUSLY humid in the gym.  I ended up burning about 500 cals.  Crazy for a 30 minute workout.  

Next week will show a rise in mileage.  Must get more brick work in, as my Sprint Tri is July 25th.  GACK!  Time to get back on track for training.  I can do all three separate no problem, it's doing them all TOGETHER that's really gonna tucker me out!  

I'm looking forward to it though.  Need to go shopping for a Tri-Suit.  **fear**
