I consider myself a fairly health individual. I am of a healthy weight and am conscious of what I need to do to maintain that weight. I am conscious of what I eat and what I should be doing to maintain optimal health and prevent or reduce my risk of chronic disease. I should, since that is what I am paid to do.
I consider myself a fairly fit person. Four years ago (Oct 2004), I ran my first 5K and set a goal then to run a marathon before I was 40 year old. Including that first 5K, I have run six 5K events, three 10K events, three Half Marathon events, two La Luz Trail Runs, and ONE marathon. I completed the marathon a full 11½ months prior to my 40th birthday. You can see most of the results at Athlinks.com.
Since my marathon seven weeks ago, I have pretty much said never again. The Duke City Marathon on October 19th was my first and very likely my only marathon. I’ll stick to the half marathons, thank you very much. Until this last couple of days…
As I was setting my fitness goals for 2009, I was thinking, “maybe I should try again.” So, I am setting up not only my running goals, but the other areas I, and so many runners neglect: strength and flexibility. I am also going to join my husband this year in some cycling so I have some goals there this year.
