#HolidaySweat Challenge

This summer I was really happy with my running progress. I set and hit two specific goals in addition to small training goals and other local races. 

I successfully ran my 10K goal time of sub 55 minutes at Beach to Beacon in August and ran 10 miles (my furthest ever!) in less than 1:40 for the Skirt Sports virtual 10 on 10 in September -- and stayed healthy! No Achilles pain, no PF and no new problems.

I know that in order to hit my next distance (half marathon) and speed goals (sub 54 min 10K), I need to strengthen my hips, Achilles and hip flexors. This is also evident in my yoga practice too as I am currently struggling with Ardha Chandrasana. 

In addition to building strength in these areas, I also want to stick with running about 15 miles a week and getting in 2 home yoga practices to supplement the class I take at the studio.

Now I have goals but with no races planned until it gets warmer and I need to stay on track through hectic weeks ahead.
