In the past, I fantasized about becoming a graceful runner. I was well on my way when BAM, I got pregnant and slept for 3 months. I tried running pregnant, but I was not a happy pregnant runner. I found it uncomfortable and consequently looked for for every excuse to bail on my running plans.
I eventually came back to it, slowly after my son was born. Repeat the above scenario for baby number two.
Over the course of the last five years I have run , on and off again, and have actually trained for a half marathon, which I completed. This year, however, I would like to cement running into my weekly routine. To do so, I’ve already signed up for a number of races, including an entire road race series. Yep, my years worth of races are already accounted for. I’m nuts, I know, but this was the only way I knew I would hold myself to it.
Here’s my schedule and in all honesty, I don’t think it’s to aggressive. I’m feeling ready for my first 5k in a few weeks, so as long as I maintain some type of routine, I think I’ll be able to successfully complete this year. Wish me luck!!
