I didn't exercise much during the pregnancy because of the move, starting a new job, and various other reasons. I really wanted to run a half marathon during this pregnancy like I did with the first, but to my disappointment, I didn't. I don't really have any excuses. With the move and everything, I was already well into my pregnancy by the time we got settled and I was out of shape at that point so I didn't feel like having to do the work to get back into shape while that far along.
Anyway, I'm back to running and swimming laps. Arizona is so hot, though, that I hate running outside in the desert heat, so most of my runs are on the treadmill. I do like being able to swim laps in an outdoor pool, however.
I see in my last two posts that I set goals for 2013 and 2014. I have to laugh at the idea of setting 2015 goals when there's only two months left in 2015. Maybe I'd be better off setting goals for 2016 instead. I just looked at my 2014 goals and I might as well copy and paste those goals for 2016! Anyway, here goes:
2016 Goals:
- Enter at least one open water race.
- Run at least two half marathons.
- Lose my two layers of baby weight.
- Run one mile in under 10 minutes.
- Blog more than once a year.
