My plan this month is to work on rebuilding my base; this morning I ran 35 slow hilly minutes. It's not much, but it is definitely a solid start. As I often do when I'm in this stage, I've set monthly goals for myself solely in terms of run-duration. I hope to be running 60 minutes by the end of October, 90 minutes by the end of November, and 2 hours by the end of December. This should have me ready to run a respectable time at the Houston half marathon in January. I like doing things this way because it is simple, but also because there is a natural progression to the workouts; the longer the runs get, the more my fitness improves, the faster I go, and the more distance I cover. (Also, the more fun I have!) So rather than having very specific goals (e.g. run 8 miles at 8:15 pace) I just let nature take its course.
Stay tuned as I should be blogging more regularly, and also making some decisions about what to do in 2012!
