I have come up with 3 health minded goals for 2010 that I am going to post to keep me honest and report on daily for my benefit. I thought I would avoid saying that I would give up certain things forever because that is unrealistic for me. I am trying to make it real simple so I can keep this up for a whole year.
1. drink 100 oz. of water a day
2. one green smoothie a day ( my smoothie recipe is 3 handfuls of spinach, 2 handfuls of mixed frozen berries, a half of a frozen banana and enough OJ to get the consistancy right) This gives me over 6 servings of fruits and vegetables in one drink.
3. 2 hours of exersize a day at least 6 days a week.
Last year my average miles per week was 30. This goal should bump that up a knotch. I would like to do a race a month, and will shoot for that, but I may do some of them as a bandit, because I don't need another t-shirt and I don't race for a "time", and I am too cheap. It is kind of fun for me to pick a local race, start the race early and run the course for fun, just to get the miles in with a group of people. I find in a race setting I do push myself alittle more, so that would be my meager attempt at speed work. My ultimate goal is endurance and distance so that I will be stronger and better prepared for the Pony Express 50 miler in Oct.
I am still in the process of making up my 2010 Race Schedule, but here is what I have so far.
Jan.- Painters Half Marathon
April- (SLC Marathon-as a bandit, probably the last 13 miles)
April- Red Mountain 50K
Aug.- Park City Marathon or Jordonelle triathlon
Oct. St. George Marathon
Oct. Pony Express 50 miler
Today was great, I did a 2 hour and 10 min snow shoeing trip with my dear hubby and our good friends Kim and John.
I had my very yummy green smoothie and am working on my water.
Day # 1 is going well. |
