Last month I met my goal of running 50 miles. I knew that this month I needed to increase that, so I opted for a 65 mile goal. I'm only 8.6 miles away from that! There is nothing better than getting a good run in. Distance doesn't matter as long as you get out there and try. I'm not a treadmill runner, I have to be outside.
Over the next 5-6 months I have several races that I will be participating in:
August 3rd: Fort Bliss 10 Miler
September 15th: Color Run El Paso
October 26th: Flying Horse 1/2 Marathon
November 16th: Fort Bliss 1/2 Marathon
February 2014: Michelob Ultra El Paso Marathon
There are a few other races that I'm deciding on if I want to do or not.
If you have ever had any doubts about running don't! Just go do it. You won't regret it, I sure don't.
That's awesome! Best of luck training and running all those races!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo you go girl!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! If you keep up with your running, I have no doubt that you'll smash the EP full! I'd love to hear more about your training! Are you going to keep running solo or join a running group? Do you have a training plan? I'm using the Run Less, Run Faster plan to train for it, but I've had great success with Hal Higdon's plan and highly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI was planning to run a half in Las Cruces at the beginning of November, but I might shift my plans to the Fort Bliss half. I didn't realize that's when it is, and it's just too darn close to pass up!
Thanks Amy!! I run solo most of the time and then also with a friend. I don't think I could join a running group. I try to run 6 days a week. 2 of those being longer distances. You should definitely run the fort bliss half! Registration should open in September.
DeleteI'm setting a 50 miles goal for August! I'm not a treadmill runner either - outside all the way! :) You're such a motivation to me!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Running is the best therapy! So sad to read about the chemical pregnancy! Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteDang, girl!! You are awesome! You are going to have a BLAST at The Color Run!! It's SO much fun. I finally put on my running shoes last night, after many, many weeks of not doing it. I ran 1.13 & only stopped once at 0.58 miles! I did it in 11 minutes & 43 seconds. I don't know if that's good or not (I am not to the point of caring about the time), but someone told me that was good, ha! I was in a 'mood' so it went by fast than what I thought! You're such an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteDUDE! I'm so impressed with runners. It's just not in my DNA. Maybe after Squish gets here I'll try again. You definitely kick butt, girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely an outside runner too, but had to head to the gym this morning. I just can't do a heat index of 93! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting, you are doing awesome! I am jealous of your race options, there is not much here in Lawton lol... we have some on the books though! Good luck with all of your training and races, cant wait to hear more!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gaby!! That's a bummer that you don't have many race options in Lawton! Good luck with the ones you are running I know you will do great!
DeleteWoo! Way to go! Those races seem ambitious. I wish I had that kind of motivation :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job Jen! You have been so inpsiring to me with your running!! :)

Awesome goals you're rocking!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on almost meeting your July goal... and we're only a little over halfway through July!
ReplyDeleteGo you! 50 miles - wow!! I'm hoping to do 30 miles next month!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, girl!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteDamn!! I envy your running.
ReplyDeleteI always feel guilty if I go for a walk/run without my dog. She's a big girl that needs exercise, but this heat and running is WAY too much for her. I prefer the outdoors over a treadmill also.
That's awesome! I tried 2 miles the other day and I thought I was going to die. I am the opposite when it comes to the treadmill. I prefer that over outside.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like running, but it has to be done! I prefer my treadmill cause I can catch up on my shows and not think about the run. But I do enjoy the occassional outside run and I'm no where near the distances you are going! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! You are such a beast! I really really want to start running!! I need to!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, a marathon by January, that's so exciting. Definitely on my bucket list, even though I will have to work hard for that. I hope to be able to run in the Night Run on September 6, but my body has to cooperate first :-(
ReplyDeleteI am still working on my love/hate relationship with running, love the idea of it but hate doing it!! Because it is so stinking hot and humid here, and I start back to work next week (where did my summer go????), we have decided to join a gym and start doing treadmill runs so we can run when it is convenient to us and not when it is cooler outside (NEVER in south GA!).
ReplyDeleteIm glad you met your goal last month. I know you will do a great job this month too. I wish i was an outdoors-y type person but i perfer the treadmill. Lol
ReplyDeleteLove the goals! I wish I could run. Unfortunately, my body doesn't allow it :( So I will cheer you on and all the other running bloggers I "know". You go girl!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! You go girl!!
