Happy National Running Day!

I hope everyone got in a nice, sweaty run to celebrate!  I ran 3 miles and was a sweaty beast after, but I think I'm slowly getting back into shape!  That's good news because next week I start training for my next half marathon!

In honor of National Running Day I thought I'd share a few of my running goals for summer.

1. Run in 5 states other than my own.  This should be easy because I have lots of travel planned for this summer.  All I need to do is get my running shoes on and make it out the door!

I have a visit to my sister planned and I cannot wait!

2. Finish the Runner's World Summer Run Streak.  I've done it two years in a row, so I know I can do it.  It always feels good to finish it!




3. Check off all my training plan runs.  The beautiful thing about summer is that I get to be a little more flexible with my schedule.  I'm so excited about my next half.  I'm doing my first challenge (5k on Saturday and half on Sunday) and I'm looking forward to having something to work towards again.

What are your summer running goals?  Any races coming up?  Mine's not until October, but it never hurts to start early!

    Ew. Barley and I are not going to let you in the door if you think you're going to come and get sweaty in my state ;)

      I guess we can take you somewhere nice and walk while you run ;)

      Thanks! I have a lot of travel planned already, so may as well lace up! :) The run streak is amazing! <3 Runner's World!

    Excellent goals! I love the one about running in several states. So far I'm up to 3, but will add another in a couple weeks! I feel like I'm always training for something. I have a few shorter races coming up and my next full in October. I have a feeling that October is going to creep up fast for both of us! That 5K/half combo sounds like so much fun!

      Oh man, it will be here before we know it! I haven't been training for anything lately so I'm excited to get back into it! I kind of want to focus on running my 5k faster and just enjoying the half this time around. It's been way too long since my last 5k PR!
