Accountability

I think my plans for this blog last year did not nearly last as long as I would have liked them to last, but it is now 2011 and I am ready to try again. I am also in the planning stages of my race schedule for the year. What does accountability have to do with either of these things? Well, my friend Jessica is going to hold me accountable for keeping up with this blog and for my training. Why does this need to happen? Because I have totally lost my motivation for training. After last year it is going to take a lot for me to mentally and physically get back into training mode. What happened last year? Oh yeah, I forgot I didn't keep you all updated. Um... Where should I begin? OK, first of all, we moved across the country. Secondly, we stayed in a hotel for two months. Thirdly, we didn't have our household goods for almost five months (which meant no bike). Fourth, I was afraid to push my shoulder after surgery back to triathlon mode. So now that you have the cliff note version, it should be easy to understand why I need someone to help keep me on track.

My goals for this year:
1) Get back to doing triathlons (at least one) but hoping to finally accomplish my goal from two years ago to doing an Olympic Distance triathlon.
2) Doing another half marathon ( I completed my first in June of last year, yes it was the only thing done in 2010.) This time I would actually like to run the whole thing.
3) Joining the Hermes Road Race Series, which consists of running in a minimum of 7 races throughout the entire year. Joining is the easy part, completing the 7 races is another story altogether.
