365 Miles in 365 Days

-
I've got a plan.  I'm going to run (at least) 365 miles in 365 days.  I used to run almost daily and would run a few 5Ks a semester.  For whatever reason, I stopped doing so well in the keeping up with my running (and I'm an Exercise Science major...tsk tsk Wendy!)

So I've decided I need to set a goal other than just "I'm going to run a 5K" (done it) or "I'm going to run a 10K" (by when specifically? this year? next year? next week?) or "I'm going to run a marathon" (that just sounds intimidating right now!).  Besides, signing up for races involves money, and right now, I just want to run for fun.  I DO want to do another race soon, but I don't want that to be my only goal. So, between September 10, 2010 and September 10, 2011 (9/10/11 haha! I really didn't do that on purpose!) I'm going to run at least 365 miles.

I'm keeping up with my distances on my new tab I added a few days ago called Running Log.  I'm not starting off running every day, but eventually, I'll be running more than one mile a day, so I should catch up with myself!

One year for my birthday, one of my friends gave me a really cool planner where you recorded how far you ran, how you felt while you were running, races you ran (and your times) and you could even jot down the weather if you wanted.

I just found it online!!  I'm going to hold off on buying the 2010 edition, but I think I just might invest in the 2011 edition. (If it gives you any idea of how long it's been since I've run on a really regular basis...mine was the 2007 or 2008 edition! :X That's no good!

    Yay for goals!
    I need a race to hang over my head for motivation; now on my 10 day countdown to the Bluegrass Half Marathon in Johnson City, TN. There is NO danger of me being overtrained (gulp!) but provided the weather is cool, I hope to make it in 2:10.

    Not really into running but I complete support your enthusiasm. My cousin was just visiting and shared her goal of running two miles a day, every day. She is doing it with her husband. Even when they don't run outside, they either run on a treadmill (sp?) or a running jogger. It's a pretty good goal. He has a blog dedicated to their efforts but I don't know the name yet. She didn't know. Thanks for sharing your goal. I'm rooting for you!

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

-

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
