My 2013 Exercise/ Workout Goal

Better late than never, but I am going to share my workout goals for 2013 because if I put them in writing, I am more likely to achieve them. It's as close as I get to a New Year's Resolution. It is long-term, something new, yet something I know I will be able to achieve, but not without working at it.
I started running for the first time in July 2012. It was memorable for several reasons: there was a full moon, people were shooting off fireworks and I had never gone for a run before. In fact, in 33 years, I don't think I had run a mile without walking part of it. Ironically, I swam my first mile when I was 14 or 15 and it was one of my favorite events.
Growing up, I always hated running. In eighth grade, I found out I have asthma, which explained some of my troubles with running. During basketball that year, I was called a "slowpoke" numerous times. The team often had to run extra laps because of another girl and me. The other slowpoke and I became best friends. She was the main reason I started running in July. Michael challenged me, "If Jenny can do it, so can you!"
Since July, I have tried to run at least three times a week. My only goal last year was to run a 5k. By the end of October, I had competed in my first two 5ks. So I needed a new goal for 2013. Several friends and family members have been trying to get me to run a half marathon, but I am not convinced. I am still on the fence whether or not I will try to train for our local half in September. I do know I would like to better my 5k time, but I also want to try something a little more challenging too. I decided I am going to try our local triathlon, the Salty Dog, in August.The 10.5 mile bike worries me the most.
My training goal is to run 730 miles in 2013. It averages out to two miles per day. So far, as of January 6th, I have only logged 4 miles. After eight years without having any real problems or even an inhaler, trying to run in the cold has me struggling with my asthma. I prefer to run in the morning, but had to switch back to evenings when it is warmer outside. I breathe through my mouth and I found wearing a mask to help filter the air helps, but I still struggle. I'm not making excuses, I just know that when it warms up, I will be playing catch up. When I don't run, I usually try to do a tabata workout.
