Fitness Friday....Bring it 2012!

Yesterday I posted about what goals I had for 2012 for the rest of my life....today it is about the other half....fitness!  Each year I look back and think, "Thank you God for carrying me through another amazing year of fitness!"  I mean I would be really blinded if I didn't take the time to give praise where it was most importantly due!  2 1/2 years have gone by since my horrible back injury I had just 6 months after Em was born.  Each year I set goals for my fitness and pray that I make it through injury free!  I am grateful for 365 injury free days!  This year I pray for nothing less!!  I also would have never been able to reach my goals this past year without the support of my hubby who has sacrificed for me so that I can get in my runs.  Thank you babe!!

With this year's goals, I am trying to build in more balance to my fitness.  BC (before children) the hubs and I would spend 2+ hours at the gym and I took every class known to man!  I loved it all!  Even after Em I loved going to Spin classes and TRX cardio blast classes.  The summer of 2010 I was the strongest I have ever felt due to this and an amazing trainer named Di from Dihard Fitness in Salem, MA.  Though we live too far away now for me to go there, I want to get back to a stronger me for 2012!  Here are my goals for 2012:

• Run (at least) 12 half marathons (this may be virtually as well as in person)
• Bring back the brawn!  I want to strength train at least 3 days a week.  To start this off I am doing the Insanity program starting Monday!
• Focus on Fuel.....This year I want to get beyond the scale and eat foods that fuel my body so that I have the energy to be an energetic wife and mom!  When I am a slave to the scale I tend to pick "diet" foods instead of the best foods to fuel my body!
• Try Crossfit (any suggestions out there?)
• Run 1000+ miles (yeah keeping the streak alive!)

What are your fitness goals for 2012?  How are you going to make this your fittest year for YOU?
