I have tossed around the idea of increasing my training from a 10K to a Half-Marathon (upon reaching the 10K goal). Races will not take place until May and I would have ample time to train for a Half-Marathon. I am afraid if I do not have a goal to train for, I will become stagnant in my running and need a goal to race for to keep my motivation up.

Training on Track
Mentally, I have come leaps and bounds in my thoughts on exercise. It no longer is a chore but something that helps me have more energy, feel better about myself, and sleep better! Also, during my runs I get to listen to fun Podcasts and learn something, it is a win/win.
Today is my long run, 3.0 miles. Yesterday I ran 2.5 miles and by mentally breaking it down into laps/"T's" or minutes on the IPod, these miles seem doable. I fear running 5.0 or 6.0 miles inside. But, getting to know/understand myself better I know that I will not run outside so I must run inside to keep-up with my training.
