After my run on Friday, I ended up taking Saturday off, knowing what is coming. I know i need to get ready for this. Today I hit the pool. I'm pretty excited. I got in a full mile today, and faster than I had the other night. I did 31 laps the other night in about an hour and a half. Today I did 36 laps in an hour even. VERY happy with that.
I've written out my training plans. Tomorrow is Halloween. I want to fly home from work before the kids are out. I want to get in a run while its still light out. Tuesday night I'm going to Pilates, then getting back to the pool after that. Wednesday is running again. And Thursday night is swimming. Then Friday off, Saturday I want to do a longer run.
Got the plan... now I need to stick to it and make this work! :)

2012 Here I Come!
Today I received a voice mail. I have been accepted onto the 2012 Team Eye and Ear! I am SO excited. I have so many things to start and things I need to think about. I'm excited and nervous all at once. And this time I actually know a bit of what to expect. This is going to be crazy!
Next week I want to call my doctor and start with physical therapy for my lower back. I don't want to deal with the injuries I had last year and I can still feel something after running. Figure if I'm proactive, it will make a difference. Hopefully anyway.
Starting to get back into the whole routine. Ran on Monday night. Tuesday I went to yoga. I wasn't feeling well on Wednesday and took the night off. Thursday night I was at the pool and swam laps, almost a mile. Then tonight after work I ran a couple miles. I felt really good with it.
I know i need to keep up with everything and keep up the routine and consistency of everything. Tomorrow morning I am going to a bootcamp class. Sunday I am swimming laps again. Then Monday back to running. I need to log my miles, watch what I am eating and keep a record of everything. Plus I think I need to buy new sneakers too.
I'm excited!
I have 3 goals this year.
1. To make it through training and to the marathon without any major injuries.
2. To raise over $7500 for fund raising.
3. To complete the marathon in under 4 1/2 hours.
Here's to success for 2012!

Boston 2012!
I just filled out my application for the 2012 Boston Marathon! I would LOVE to be part of Team Eye and Ear again. Last year was just an amazing experience.
I slacked with running for a while over the summer, but fall tends to be when I build up the most and have big success in running. The weather is just perfect for it. Last week was great at the track with the group, even being there in the dark.
Next weekend I'll be in CT for the ING 1/2 marathon supporting 2 friends who are running. I'll be running in the 5K with another friend. Nice Girls Weekend away. Who would have ever thought a few years ago that my idea of a girls weekend now is going away to run in a race! Talk about coming a long way!
My back was a little sore the past couple of weeks. I called a chiropractor closer to work to start treating again. I want to be a little pro-active this time around and not wait until I'm struggling to walk like last March. That was tough.
I really want to do Boston again and I really want to make my goal of 4 1/2 hours. I know I can do it, as long as I'm injury free. This will be exciting to do it again and this time have a better idea of what I'm expecting. I can't wait!
