Much happy thoughts as this year is surely ending.

My short term goals are to get to spin class every Tuesday & Friday no matter what. I really enjoy this class so much, the time just fly by and I feel like I put in lots of effort until the end of class and it is a great workout. I am also going to try to go to group power twice a week and step class once a week. I really enjoy step classes in the past and don't know how I let that get away from me but moving forward this will be in my weekly routine as well.

Sample schedule

Monday – interval run on treadmill 5 miles

Tuesday – group ride

Wednesday – group power – 2 mile easy run

Thursday – interval run on the treadmill 5 miles

Friday – group ride – 2 mile easy run

Saturday – group step & group power

Sunday – long run outside

Running is something that I enjoy to do as well, I would love to run four half marathons this year. Portland in April 2010, Eugene half in May 2010, Women Eugene half Sept 2010 & the girl friend run Oct 2010. I think I should be able to train for these events and include my spin and step class in the mix. Of course this is just some thoughts right now. I need to figure out if this can work with my every day schedule as I do not want to over do it.

I am having a fabulous week this week. So far I am back where I was last year. It was tough getting back there but I did. I just need to stay focus a little more as this year is ending in about 9 days I can't believe.

My work out this morning was an interval hill workout on the treadmill for 3.5 miles speed ranged from 6.0 flat to 5.0 incline at 5.0 speed. Woohoo its over but I hope to get in some strength training later on tonight.

Today I realize again that I have the key to make me keep going. I will continue this journey and be strong. Yes I can, yes I will. Determination and Will power is my strong points so I will just do it!
