Browsing the blogs... and everyone seems to be in the same boat. Winter depression, laziness, wanting to curl up under the comforters, comfort foods, etc.
A few enterprising souls are setting up new running goals for 2009, the active.com discussion forums has a lot of newbies with their first running goals- to complete the C25K or run their first 5K, the runnerslounge.com has the topic of 'review 2008 in terms of running in 52 words or less' for their Take it and run Thursday .
Its the time to review the past year. I think I have come a long way- I have covered almost 750miles in the last one year. I have completed a marathon- I know it was slow, and compared to some others who do so many in a year, it seems nothing, but hey, it was the first step!! Diet and weight have always been an issue, and maybe this year -2009- I might see some changes. But as far as general health is concerned, it has improved due to this regular activity. I dont have the ankle and knee pain I was having regularly on first moving in the morning. And going up and down the stairs is definitly easier! I did not get to tired in the middle of the day as I had started getting these past few years. Very small, intangible changes, but I will take them as a start.
Now for the goals for 2009:
I do want to complete 2 half marathons; one in May, the other in November.I do want to take less time completing these- dream time-> 2h59min.
I do want to lose the 36 pounds, of which I have lost only 2 in these last 2 months. Just means I have to tighten the belt come January.
With regards to health and fitness, those are the only 2 goals, lets see how much I am able to accoplish!
