I was asked the other day what my running goal was. For the first time in about a year I do not have an active running goal. I went from running my first 50k at the end of January to pulling my back out during my recovery in February and now with it being the middle of March it's time to work something out. I am not sure I want to take the next step distance wise to run a 50 miler, so I guess that sort of leaves me with maybe working on improving my race times. My PR's are starting to look a little stale, well except for that 5k PR at the ABB 5k in January. Maybe it's time to finally bring my Half Marathon time down under 2:30. I guess I need to figure out which race this fall/winter season I want to work that towards so this goal gets time bound.
I wear a VivoFit2 by Garmin and it has a feature where it will set your daily step goal. For the month of March my goal has been to reach this step goal everyday. Today is day 11 and so far so good. Today is the first day the step goal has reached over 10,000 steps, it's not a very challenging goal to reach on runs days but on non-run days I find myself doing hourly laps around the office, sometimes around the entire building, and I have now made the stairwells my friends again. I am looking forward to the up coming time change so I will have an extra hour after dinner to get those last few daily steps in.
Does anybody have any tricks they use to get their steps in? All suggestions welcome.
