What are you working towards? What's your time frame? What are you doing to get there?



My current goal is to run a half-marathon. I ran up to seven miles straight this past fall relatively easily, so I'm hoping by the end of this coming summer I can easily run 10 miles and run a half marathon (13.1 miles) at least once.

The winter was hard since I don't really have anywhere to run inside, but I ran when I could (at least twice a week) and played racquetball to keep my fitness level somewhere near where it was. Now that the weather is getting better, or above freezing anyways, I've been getting out a lot more and plan to start training for it now. Furthest I've ran since the winter started is about 4.5 miles. Yesterday I ran 2.5 and today I ran 3 miles which were both easy and light.

I don't want to go out and kill myself before I get anywhere so I'm going to work my way to an average of 3 miles a day 5 days a week again, and from there I'll gradually build up. When I get there I'll just go by how many miles a week I'm running. So I'll be starting at 15 miles a week and I'll try to increase it a mile or two each week until I'm able to get about 30 miles logged per week. As time goes on I plan to start running less days a week but more miles a day. So instead of going out 5 days running 6 miles each day I'll try to do two days with 10 mile runs, a day with a 6 mile run and a day with a 4 mile run. Obviously if I run in to any problems (HAHA) I'll be changing this but so far this is my plan. As I said my goal is to run the half marathon by the end of the summer.



So what are you up to?
