Started the New Year off with an easy 5 miles today. It was nice around 38 with just light wind. I felt a little sluggish today. Probably from staying up late and eating a bunch of junk. Time to get in gear. I spent most of the day having fun with the family but did jot down some goals for this year. I am going to shoot high this year with running and see what I can do. My first goal is to stay healthy. If I can't do this all of the goals go out the window. I finished 2010 off poorly due to injuries and lack of motivation so time to turn that around. Here is what I am shooting for this year: 1. Sub 3 marathon. I am not getting any younger so need to go after this now before I slow down too much. 2. Sub 1:25 half. I love the half marathon distance and would like to improve my PR in this area. 3. Sub 39:00 10k. I have run a 10k in a long time and want to see what I can do. 4. Run 2600 miles for the year. That is 50 miles a week avg and I will need to do this to accomplish the other goals. 5. Run more races. I didn't race much in 2010 and it seems that when I race more I get faster. Just need to set aside the time to make it happen. There it is so now time to get busy. Happy New Year!! |
