Just like everyone else, as the year starts to come to a close we all start thinking about goals we want to set for next year. Many of us set a fitness goal for ourselves or sticking to eating healthy. I believe that it is important to start that goal as soon as possible instead of waiting until midnight on the 31st of December. Especially if your goal is fitness or food related. For me I have several goals. One is to continue to have a healthy pregnancy and to be able to continue to exercise throughout the pregnancy so it won’t be so hard to get back into after the birth. The other goal is to run in the Honolulu Marathon next year. Funny story with this one as I am currently signed up to run it this year but I am pretty sure I may not be comfortable running 26.2 miles and being 6 months pregnant. I know there are ladies out there who do it and it’s awesome for all your hard-core runners, just not me. I originally signed up for the marathon in January of this year- they had an offer of $26.20 to register for the race- I was signed up before I finished reading the post! I know I will be able to sign up again next year and the baby is due in March, so my plan is to start in May with my running/exercise routine to get in shape and run that marathon. However the planning needs to start now. I need to keep myself healthy by continuing to eat clean and exercise during the pregnancy. This will keep my body strong and healthy for the birth. I also need to think about putting together my exercise plan after the birth because I know that I am not going to be waking up several weeks after giving birth and going for a 6 mile run. So starting now I will be working on a plan to ease back into my exercise routine and plan out a running schedule to get me on track for next years marathon.
