morning - 11 Steve's toward Washington Dam and loop around through fields. A fun run with Steve and Mike. I am glad to get back into it. I figured I could come back from my break two ways: feeling refreshed and great, or feeling out of tune. I came back the latter. Legs felt like I was working to pick them up every step. Everything felt off from my toes to my head. But I enjoyed running. (Precision 206.25)
GOALS FOR 2008: After having a successful year in 2007, I am looking forward to building on it in 2008. Mileage: I would like to push up to 120 weeks in the summer. As a result, I think this will push my total mileage for the year up over 4000 to somewhere around 4200. Health Goals: This is a little vague and not the best way to set goals, but I would like to eat healthier. So I am not going to give in to any caff. soda and ... what the heck I'll say soda at all, let's see how it goes. Injuries: You can't really predict them, but you can help avoid them and take care of them when they happen. Keep myself as injury free as 2007. Enjoyment: Run on the trails! Run in the rain! Outrun bikes! Find a few tortoises! Really, really enjoy at least 2 runs per week. Racing: I have never set goals for a year, but here we go- 10K - Under 30 at Summer Games and 31 at an unaided 10K 1/2's - 3 minute PR which would put me at 1:07:06, so let's say under 1:07 marathon - SLC equal SGM time even with the harder course SGM top three finish with whatever time that takes - I am planning on it being sub 2:20, so there is the goal! Final goal is to decided on which course I am going to go for Trials qualifier on in a couple years and get plans made and set to run that race in 2009, so I am ready for 2010.
