This morning I snacked on a few of my mom’s apricots (from her tree!) and a Greek yogurt.
Lunch was an early bird special because my leftovers were calling my name – salad and sandwich. I topped the salad with my leftover chicken kabob from yesterday. The extra protein filled me up in the best way.
So, I still haven’t announced my new training goals / goal race for 2012. And I still can’t spill all the details of my plans (major stuff is pending and it’s not all in my hands yet). But I will say this… I signed up for the Santa Rosa Marathon a few weeks ago (!!). It is August 26th. That is not very far away!
Then, I got hit up about another marathon that shall remain nameless for now. Since I’m not a marathon girl, I’m re-examining whether or not I want to do SRM. I need a minute to think. But, if I do… I need to get on training NOW! That is only 12 weeks away (and most training plans are at least that much, often 16 weeks)!
Anyways, if you need some direction and accountability you shouldn’t read this blog…. you should keep a training journal.
The ladies behind Believe I am Training Journals sent me one because they must have realized I need to write down my goals (and get it together)!
I love that there is a place to re-examine how a race went!
I have 2 training journals to give away! Want to win one?
Comment with one of your fitness goals OR your next race.
You can get one extra entry by running to my house to get the journal in person. 2 entries in you run here from Hawaii…
Open to US residents. Closes 5/30/12 at noon.

Kate says
On February 1st I signed up for my first marathon…..Chicago on October 7th! I am following an 18-week Hal Higdon training program and it starts on Monday (if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve that program or have a program you enjoyed following, I would appreciate your feedback). I am going with a mix of Novice and Intermediate because I have been running for a few years and have completed a few halfs and recently a 25K.
I tried the FitBook and it’s great for overall goals, but I think I do need something to help me log training miles (plus I really like adding my miles at the end of the week)!
Suzanne says
My goal this summer: I hope to get to a 20-minute 5K.
I hit 21:30 over the weekend, which is a new PR. The last few I’ve hit 22:00.

Monica – First of all I LOVE your blog. I found you thru SR and I enjoy your mini vidos also. I actually just completed the Cinco de Miler here in Chicago. It was my first 5 mile race. Completed and ran the whole race. Not as fast as I would like, but getting there. I am actually doing a 5K with my 9 year old niece in 2 weeks. It’s sponsored by “Girls on the Run”. This is a running club geared towards 8 – 13 year old girls which I think is fabulous! They also teach nutrition, self esteem etc. Anyway keep up the great journaling!!
Newlyweds on a Budget says

Krystina says
I injured my IT band in March/April after a half and then a 10 miler 2 weeks later. So I have been concentrating on more weight training and other forms of cardio.

Jen Hofstetter (@photosbyjenh) says
My fitness goal is to run 3 miles without walking by the end of June. My next race goal is to run/walk a half marathon in October (the Athens Half, which is like a local Rock N Roll Half Marathon – it supports the AthFest music festival, and the musicians play throughout the course!).

Half marathon soon.

Hey Hey! I read your blog daily, yours and SR’s! I love you guys! Well, I just started training this week for my very first marathon, the Disney Marathon in Orlando January of next year. We are using a 30 week schedule and giving ourselves a few weeks cushion. I would love to use a training journal!! Wish us luck 🙂
ErinVH says
My next race is the Hospital Hill 10K in KC this weekend. The goal is to finish without having a heatstroke! My friend is trying to talk me into a half marathon this fall but I will have to see how the ol’ knees hold up in this shorter race first.
Sarah Sloterdijk says
My next fitness goal is to strength train more and run the Chevron Aramco Half Marathon in Houston. Hopefully I will get picked!

Karla F says
I am running my first EVER marathon in November!! This journal sounds like it would be a big help in getting there 🙂

Jordan Foster says
I am running the dirty dash which is a 10k on saturday!
AnnaGrace Strange says
I am trying to decide what my next race will be. So right now, I am just maintaining a base mileage. One of my dream races, however, is the Vienna marathon in Vienna, Austria. So, I suppose you could say, that I am always in training for that. 🙂
Lora says
My next race is going to be the corona del mar scenic 5k this Saturday.
Katie K says
I’m just starting to train for two half marathons this fall. I completed my first almost exactly a year ago and then fell off the training wagon – if only I’d had a training journal 🙂 My next race is a 5K in two weekends (I’m about 20% ready for it) and I have ten others planned throughout the next 5 months. I’m so excited to get back on the running wagon!
Sarah says
I just ran my first half marathon on Sunday! My next race is a 10K at the end of June and I want to break an hour!

Stephanie N says
My next races are RNR Chicago Half, Omaha Full (my first.. eeeek) and Des Moines Half! Can’t wait!!
Christin@christinjoyful says
My current goal is to be bathing suit ready…I have been hitting the gym with a training plan, and have been focusing in on my diet as well. A journal would be helpful to keep track!!
Tracy says
My next race is this Saturday. A 10K to open the new Terminal #3 at the McCarron International Airport in Las Vegas. I live here and am excited to run this because it will never happen again plus it begins and ends in the parking garage. Brilliant! I am working my way to another half this year. My first one was on my 50th birthday running the Red Rocks half in March. Nothing like a lot of hills to get the next 50 years going!
Denise P. says
Very cool! I got to run a 5k on a freeway here in So Cal before it opened and I still think of it all these years later whenever I drive on it. I was one of only a few hundred people who got to run (legally) on this freeway.
Sabrina says
I’m running a double this weekend! A half on Saturday and Sunday! 🙂 I’m scared! 😉
Pia says
I’m running my first half in October! And would love something to keep me on track 🙂
Barbara says
I have been working on building up to running a half hour non-stop (C25K). I read your blog for running inspiration! My goals are to complete a 5K, then once I do that, run a 10K, then after that ?? . A training journal would be great to have!
Jen S. says
My next race is a half marathon in Saratoga Springs, NY in September. It will be my first race since running the NYC Marathon last Novemeber and I’m a little nervous to get back out there in a race setting. But my goal is to PR (2:25 or less!).
Liz says
One fitness goal is to keep up with my work outs! I moved farther away from my gym and work, so I have less time to work out. I’m making it a goal for the next month to try out different at-home workouts, whether it’s running or a full body circuit.
Chelsea says
I’m hoping to PR my 5k this summer and my half in the fall!
Rae says
HA! love this. My next race is a 12 mile trail race (first trail race ever) this Saturday. My goal is to finish in one piece 😛
Nicole S says
I am running a Tough Mudder in July, so my goal is to finish and at least attempt all of the obstacles and not get hurt 🙂
Katie B says
My next race is a 50K this Saturday!
Kirsten says
My fitness goal is to maintain my bikini bod for the summer! I like to adopt a general program for about 6-8 weeks then tweak it by mixing up my strength, cardio, and yoga sessions each week. Being able to track everything would be amazing!
Nikki says
I have a few ideas for races this year but am playing it by ear at this point. I ran a half a couple weeks ago and missed my goal by 1 minute, so I need to beat that!
Jordan@almondjay says
My next race is the San Francisco Half Marathon in July! So excited to get back to racing after two injuries 🙂
runnrjo says

Margaret says
My next running goal is the Freedom’s Run marathon in WVA in October. This will be state #6 (marathon #7) in my quest for 50 states!
TiffanyS says
I have a mini tri this weekend, and a super fun 5K adventure race next weekend. But, my next ‘running’ race is the Great River Ragnar relay in August. Beyond that I’m running my second half marathon in October, and last year I had bursitis in my knee. So, my goal is to train smarter not harder, listen to my body, do more cross training and less running, and hopefully shave off a half hour from my time due to the pain I had last year. I was just happy to complete the race last year. I try to keep a training spreadsheet, but I prefer to write things down and carry it with me. I don’t carry my computer with me. I can’t wait to hear your news!
JEn says
I am running the Chicago Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon in July! 3rd year in a row!
Courtney Smith says
My first marathon!!!
Heidi says
My next race is Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, MN. It’s supposed to be a beautiful area, and Kara Goucher is originally from there (she’s running the half!), so it will be a great race. I’m running two marathons 20 days apart this spring, and that’s my last one for a few months 🙂
Tracy says
I am going to to my 2nd half on October 7th!
Emily says
Wow! There are some great goals here! My goal for this year is to do a sprint triathlon. Running has always been my strong sport, but I want to challenge myself beyond my limits… Yay for swimming and biking. :)))
Jill says
I just finished 2 half-marathons this spring. My fitness goals for the summer is to focus on cross-training & strength training, to give myself a break from running.

I’ve been contemplating one of these for so long! I’m a big picky bars fan and pretty much have a girl crush on LF. My next big goal is to CRUSH my half marathon PR at my next one in July!
Emily says
My next race is the YMCA Half Marathon in Evansville, IN. I’m hoping to PR by beating a time of 1:59:40!
Heidi @ The Sweet Life Blog says
My current goal is to run my first marathon in Houston this January!
Catherine D says
My biggest fitness goal is to tackle a half marathon by the end of the year.
Patricia says
I’ve had quite a difficult pregnancy so far and have had to give up my exercise routine and go on bed rest. Looking forward to getting back into a routine but I have no clue how that will work with a new baby. Having a workout journal would definitely help me achieve my goal of finally running a half marathon in 2013.
sara says
I am so excited that just last night I met a big goal! I am 3weeks out from running a 7mi relay route in our local marathon. I am the finisher for our team. I have never run that far until last night. Now I feel more comfortable with the upcoming race even though I will be running close to noon in high heat. Any tips for running in sun and heat? I usually run in the evenings. The sun kills me.
Amy says
My fitness goal this year is to focus on health and to learn to love running again. I ran too much and trained too much last year. I need to relearn the joy of just getting out there and going, not watching my time/pace and constantly worrying about that. But instead, be healthy, love health, live with joy!
Deirdre @ Oh Well Whatever says
My big race goal is the Old Goat 50 – March 2013!
Jennifer Sorrells says
My current goal is the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco!!!
Patty Fischer says
I’m currently training for my 2nd marathon, R’n’R St. Louis! It’s been 2 years since I’ve done a marathon, and I plan to train much more throroughly this time than the first time. Hoping to PR by an HOUR! Yeah!
abby r says
recently, i just ran my first 1/2 marathon so i am on a bit of a lull when it comes to races but it would be great to still have a journal to keep me accountable. i am hoping to complete a 5k under 30 minutes so as soon as i find a race i might just try!
Erica says
I have three races on my radar: Komen Race for the Cure in St. Louis is June 23 (I am running my 4th as a SURVIVOR!), the Sunshine Run 10K in Springfield, MO in October, and the St. Jude Memphis 1/2 Marathon in Memphis on Dec. 1!!
Dana B. says
I am relatively new to running. I began a year ago and am now in a routine of regularly running 5Ks thanks to the Couch to 5K program. I’ve added strength training to my running schedule and am now gearing up for my first 10K in September. I’m learning everything I can about running and would love to run a marathon someday! I’ve always struggled with weight loss and fitness despite always being an athlete. Running is my new challenge and I’ve learned that I really enjoy it – as a lifestyle. Reading your blog certainly helps too! Have an awesome day! 🙂
rachel says
I recently set some major goals for the Bozeman triathlon. I created a spreadsheet with all my old race times and my goal times. I really want to shave a few minutes off my 5k time this year.
Kary says
I just turned 50 in May and I’d like to run the Vegas RNR half marathon in under a 9:15 overall pace.
Lisa says
I’m running the Seattle R&R marathon with my brother next month. It’s his first race over a 5K and I can’t wait to share it with him!
Christina says
Just started training for my second marathon….and my third! I’m doing back to back marathons this year and I could really use a training journal to stay on track!
jenn says
my goal is to complete my first half-marathon before the big 3-0…it’s 4 months away!
Lauri says
I *think* my next race goal is the Baltimore 10 miler which is in 3 weeks. I did it last year but wasn’t fully prepared and had to walk a lot due to a side cramp and the crazy hills! This year my mileage is moe than it was last year so I’m considering going for it and proving to myself that I CAN do it!!
Marcy says
Next major race that I’m going to start training for is…drum roll…
Reach the Beach NH in September
Totally can’t wait, although you have uped my anxiety level about the night runs…ugh…
~Marcy 🙂
runeatrepeat says
I was the only one who was a fraidy cat – you’ll be fine 🙂
Regan says
My current goal is to beat my Half Marathon PR of 1:45 and build strength. So this would perfect to gauge my running and strength routine…I need to be better about logging everything this is the perfect tool 🙂
Stephanie says
My fitness goal is to run a sub-30 minute 5K. I have to shave off just over 2 and a half minutes from my current time so hopefully that’s doable.
Meghan says
My goal is to run a sub 4 hour marathon at Chicago in October!
Enid says
I’m signed up for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th!
Floey says
My goal is to get back into the pool sometime this summer!
Diana says
Your salad with leftover kabobs looks so yummy… I think I’m hungry for some grilled chicken.
My fitness goals are to lose these last five pounds and tone up. I’m seriously contemplating doing a 5k (I’m not a walker or runner, so this is a HUGE deal for me), so that may be coming up soon.
Tina says
I signed up a couple of weeks ago for my first Century Ride because my friend wanted a buddy. At the time I didn’t have a road bike or a training program. Now that I have both it would be great to have a journal to track the journey. 🙂
Melissa says
My current goal is to get back into swimming and complete a sprint tri. Also, my next race is a 150 mile bike ride starting in Boston and ending in Provincetown on Cape Cod. It’s 2 days and I am super nervous for it! As for running, my next planned race is a fun one called Color Me Rad. A bunch of friends and I are running it together for run, no clock or anything. I’m excited!
Heather@YSP says
After doing a Warrior Dash for the first time two weeks ago, I’m hooked! I signed up for another in September then for next May too!
Kayla says
My next “race” is the Spartan Race in September… its more like a 13 mile up-hill bootcamp which I’m a little nervous about but I’m just doing it for fun!
hensley says
The Columbia Muddy Buddy race! So excited… mud runs are the bestttt
samantha says
My goal is to run a sub 4:30 marathon. I’m training for my 4th marathon now and my 3rd NWM in San Fran … BTW your blog is awesome and thanks for the inspiration and random events =)
Sue says
I would say go for Santa Rosa – you don’t really need 16 weeks since you’ve a base and have been running regularly. Next race? 10k.
Libby @ PracticallyParenting says
I have been living in denial about the pounds that I have crept back on since I stopped breast feeding about 6 months ago… so I am all about getting rid of those.
Oh, and I am going to complete my first full marathon before the year is over!
Charlotte says
One of my goals is to run a 55 minute 10k. It has been my goal for awhile but missed it by two minutes in my last 10k. I’m training extra hard so I can beat it in my next 10k.
Megan B. says
I want to be able to bang out some pull ups!
Kellie says
I am doing the Long Beach marathon in October. It is my first full and I am excited. I also get an extra entry because I live in Costa Mesa and we can meet a back bay for a run and I can pick up the journal.
Caroline says
My goal for the summer is to get back on my bike! I bike at the gym and in spin class but haven’t been on my road bike in over a decade. eek!
Carrie says
I just finished my first HM last weekend! My goal for now is to lose these last 5lbs and get faster. My next “race” is July 19, for a cherry festival, but I’m running for fun with my best friend. I may try to find a 5k to do before then.
anna krystine says
my next race is a 5k… hoping for a big PR!
Losing Lindy says
super cute! my next half mary is in Sept…I need to step up and get to running..
hippierunner says
My fitness goal is to stay fit despite the nagging tendon injury I have. Also, to see a doctor about it already!
caronae says
The journals look really cute. Right now I’m just working on finding the fitness plan that works for me – I used to run all the time, but now I am doing occasional running with lots of yoga and pilates and some swimming. I think that works better for me. So my goal is to just keep moving along. And to make good use of the Y, which I joined for the summer since it gets too hot to do a ton of outdoor running and walking.
Theodora says
My current race goal is getting you to come pace me for Marine Corps.
runeatrepeat says
Maybe.
Grecia says

Sarah @ sarahvscake says
Omigosh that book is so cool! Right now I’m training for a xc camp in July

ashley says
Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon and I am hoping to run a sub-4 hour for the first time!
Alicia Wynn says
I had surgery 4-1/2 weeks ago, so my short-term goal is to get on the treadmill tonight and walk a 5K! My long-term goal is to run the Really Big, Really Free Half Marathon in Vegas in November in under 2-1/2 hours.
Melissa Reeves @ Domestic Goddess in Training says
My goal for the summer is to work more cross training into my exercise routine. I joined the local Y last week and have started to take classes.
A little more long-term, I’m running my 2nd half-marathon December 1st and will be shooting to PR at it BIG time!
Pam Moulton says
I’m 52 and just started running 2 years ago. I would like to eventually run a half marathon. My next race is the Pride 5K in honor of my nephew.
Stephanie says
I’m not currently signed up for any races because I’m likely moving soon… but if/when I finally land somewhere more permanent, I’m going to sign up for a 10k first thing and I want set myself up now to make sure I can do the distance for my first race!
Holly says
My current goal is to hike 10 miles, which I will be doing this next weekend on my very first overnight backpacking trip. WAHOO! I’m really excited.

Morgan says
My goal is to finally run a 5K. I have walked a couple 5Ks, but I would love to run one all the way through. I started a couch to 5k program a few weeks ago and am excited about the changes I’v seen in my endurance and overall health!
Erin says
2 (short) races this week: 5K on Thurs and 4 mi on Sun. love to keep it short and sweet in the summer so i dont die of heat
RebekahK says
I am running my first trail race this Saturday. It is also my first 15k, a different distance. Hoping I don’t twist an ankle!!
Kim @ Living, Laughing & Losing says
My goal is to get back into the swing of things after vacation and being sick. I LOVE writing my goals and accomplishments on paper and would get a lot of use out of that journal. My next race is a 5k on June 10th!
Tiffany G. says
Hi. I am a new reader of your blog 🙂 I’m new to running, I’m currently doing c25k. I’m going to run a 5k in July. The Color Me Rad 5k, it looks so fun 😀
Allison @ Running Through Red Lights says
Im running a 10k in a couple weeks, a 5k in July, and a half marathon in September. This journal would be awesome to help keep me on track!
Holly Garcia says
I wasn’t supposed to do another marathon til the Nike women’s marathon in October but my husband surprised me with a free entry into a marathon in less then 2 weeks. I will be his pacer for his first marathon, I’m so excited!

I have a 5k coming up in 2 weeks and would love to PR!

My next race is the Disneyland half marathon!! Well, technically my next race is the Disneyland 5k but I’m mostly participating so I can take pictures of my daughter every step of the way!
Rachael J. says
I actually just did my first 5k yesterday! Then in July I’m doing a 4 mile race and The Color Run. I’m also currently looking for a half marathon to do 🙂
Erin says
My goal is to start a routine. I used to play volleyball and run all the time. I have falling out of the routine and this journal would keep me on track.
Angela says
I’m recently coming off of 2 years (!) of injury, and looking forward to running my first real “race.” I know I most likely will NOT pr, but I just want to run hard and fast!
Laura says
Just ran my 3rd half marathon last weekend while also training for my century (100mile) cycle road ride this coming weekend. I am training for a 6 day bicycle tour in June and triathlons in July. So time to get swimming and also incorporating weight training back into my routine. I love training for lots of different things, keeps me motiviated and happy!!! Can’t wait to hear what the rest of your racing plans are for the summer!
Bean says
I want to break 2 hours at this falls RnR Denver 1/2. PR right now is 2:05. So close yet so far.
J'lene says
Running doesn’t come easy for me, but I really enjoy it and am looking forward to running my second 5K on July 4th in Coronado! I would love to have a journal to record my progress and help with the “motivation” factor!!
Heather says
my next race is this saturday – rock n’ roll san diego! it’s my first full marathon and i am NERVOUS!
Jamie says
My next planned race isn’t until the fall…lame I know! I recently PR’d in a 5k (by major minutes!) so I’m thinking I want to see if I can get my 5k time down even more over the summer (8 min/miles I’m looking at you).

Brandee says
I have two races coming up. The first one is in August and it is Subway Get Fit 10K Run and then in Sept it is Kroll’s Marathon, which I am going to do the 5K. I am doing these two races to improve my time and to release stress from life. I have come to enjoy me time and look forward to it daily.
Rachel C. says
My goal is to PR at the half marathon in Philly in Sept

Shanna says
My next race is technically the SF Marathon this July, but I’m recovering from a double stress fracture that I got in March, so really the next one I’ll be able to run is the Ragnar Relay Napa Valley this September! It’s ridiculous how excited I am to be cleared to do 15mins on the elliptical this week!
Ashley says
Looking forward to running my first half in October! A running journal would be nice to track my training!!
Lynda @ sunsweatrun says
That journal would help me for my summer training and marathon training next fall. My fitness goal is to stay trained through the summer so I can train for my first marathon. I live in the desert and you cannot train long distance in the summer (or at least I can’t).
Desirae says
I’m a brand new runner (April). I originally signed up for a 10K on September 16th, so my goal was/IS to train for that and be able to run the entire 6.2 without walking. But then I added a 5k on June 9th. My goal for the 5k is to run the whole thing in under 28 minutes. And TODAY I decided that I will register for the Mountain Raid Challenge (in ME) which takes place on October 7th (and is 5 days before my 40th birthday). My goal for THAT is to finish alive.
I NEED a journal so I can keep track of all of this stuff. I have a feeling I’m not done adding races to this year, yet…
