One day goals are just as important as weekly, monthly and long term. Even with a couple of days, I'm sure there is something you would like to accomplish! Roni, You’re free to jump in at any time.

Keep it up. Blaine, I'd say you got your extra mileage in just by running in snow and ice. That's a challenge in it's self. Way to stay positive and focus on what lies ahead. Enjoy your speed session. I look forward to hearing about it next week. Lisa, doesn't it feel great to achieve a victory in food choices?! CFO, Speed doesn't matter. It's the small steps that matter. Congratulations. I look forward to hearing how your experience goes next week. Hugs and Cheering headed your way!!! Debbie, What a great idea for this week. I'm terribly remiss about keeping lotion nearby and using it. Way to keep moving ahead! Way to go Karen!!! Keep it up.

I got to sleep in, which did me a world of good. Next, I am going to devote my self to taking better care of my skin. I have psoriasis and since I have been so stressed lately, it's really out of control. I am going to make the time to put on my cream so it won't be so bad. my goal is going to be a challenge in my life but I am sticking to it….so far, so good.

On Saturday afternoon, my wonderful husband took the kids out and gave me an hour to myself. So I hopped onto the treadmill and actually ran a mile. I've exercised so little that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to run even that far anymore, and I wasn't exactly speedy about it, but it was a relief and an accomplishment in one! This week I want to exercise again (just sticking to once, though!). My goal turned out to be wonderful motivation (thanks, Cindy!).

I ran every workout that I had planned on, but my math was off by 5 miles and I was not going to add a 5 mile run to my schedule so I wound up running 45 miles last week. I skipped Monday, got an extra couple of miles from what I expected to on Tuesday, and ran what I expected on Wednesday and Friday. I tweaked my calf in the 5 degree temperatures during my run on Thursday, so I only ran for 25 minutes. Saturday I would have liked to run farther, but I got 9 fast miles in while attempting to get home before it got too dark (I did have reflective clothes and a flashing red light on my arm.) Sunday was perfect. I got a full 15 miles in, all but 3 of them <a href="http://news.runtowin.com/2008/01/06/getting-lost-while-running-in-the-middle-of-a-lake.html" rel="nofollow">in snow or on ice</a> or both. This week, I want to take advantage of the warm weather but given my constraint of lunch runs won't be able to up my mileage too much. I'll aim for the 50 mile mark, but my actual goal will be to find time to get to the indoor track for a speed session mid-week. With the warm weather we have, I should be able to get a good warm up and cool down outside and get some quality HIIT work done on the track. That'll give me a chance to do a max heart rate test so that I can make some good assumptions for heart rate training later in the season.
