New Goals

Yesterday I ran my 8 miles outside even though it was raining.  It was not a downpour just a lite sprinkle so I went for it.  It felt good, I felt good, I felt strong and my legs felt great!  I have been thinking a lot about what is next for me with running.  As much as I love signing up for marathons I have yet to sign up for my next one and I am not sure why.  I want to make sure I am ready especially since I have ran 3 in the last 6 months. I am no miracle runner and like most people my body does better when it has the proper recovery. I really miss logging miles.  I go up and down all the time with training.  The other day I was talking with my sister Jen and I told her that right now I want to work on getting in more miles before I sign up for my next one. 

So my new goal is get up to 40- 50 miles a week comfortably.  Right now I am at about 25 miles so I have a ways to climb.  Also I want to do it right so I don't risk injury.  Once I am there I will see which race will be next!

On a totally different side note I am totally in love with these shoes and I can't stop thinking about them :)

Mark your calendars!  Big STUFF happening JUNE 1st!!!!

So tell me, what are your goals right now?  Anyone working on logging miles??

Royal Weddings and my Glass Slippers

Todays post is going to be short and sweet because I am going to be too busy celebrating the Royal Wedding =) It is the closest thing I have to experiencing a Cinderella story come true.  She was a commoner, he a Prince. They are now married and seem to be very in Love.  I woke up early this morning, 2:30am Denver time and watched the entire wedding and just loved every minute of it.  The only thing I didn't catch a glimpse of was her shoes?!? I can only hope that her Cinderella Glass Slippers give her as much joy as mine do =)

It was time for a new pair of shoes and I just happened to have my last coupon to the Boulder Running Company lingering in my wallet and just like that these lovely Asics 3020's landed themselves in my possession. (Along with lots more GU's, Shot Bloks, etc) GU came out a new Jet Blackberry flavor that is just scrumptious)

Happy Royal Wedding Day and as happy running all. Put on your favorite glass slippers today whatever they may be and celebrate! -Jen
