As a part of getting more physical fitness training in my life, I have managed so far to keep running and to enter into 2 5K races as part of my New Year’s Resolution (Your Year in Review). I have registered for a series race in Clearwater that starts this weekend (Back on Track…) and am pretty excited to see how I’ve improved over the past 6 months. In preparation for my upcoming 4 races, I’ve been working on distance with my longest distance being 8.5 miles at an 8:35/min pace, and on speed with my average pace for shorter distances being 7:30/min. I have, surprisingly, hit a 6:30/min pace during one of my runs, but that was short lived and caused me to run out of gas for the remainder of the run.
As far as being more socially involved, I have setup an account on CrowdRise, http://www.crowdrise.com/miguelfeliciano, and will be setting up a project to help raise money for a charity for the half marathon I will be running as the last series race. I don’t know what charity I want to raise awareness & money for, but I need to figure that out very soon.
On the procrastination part, I’m guilty. I’ve started several different projects and have not completed many of them. I still have some time this year to complete them, but again; I need to get off my ass and finish.
Have you kept up your resolutions? What charity would you like to see me raise awareness and money for?
