Here's my 2006 athletic wish list. A long time ago I thought I wasn't very competitive ... but apparently I am so watch out!
1) Do at least 1/2 hour of heart raising activity six days per week, for the entire year, including: Run, walk, swim, hike, snowshoe, bike, lift weights, etcetera ... does sex count? If it does I'm golden.
2) Achieve a new Personal Best time at the Knee Knacker (working toward a sub 7:30h) ... better luck next year.
3) Do 50 pushups in a row ... I'm pretty sure I did 50 push ups this year ...
4) Do 10 complete full body chin-ups in a row ... I'll give myself 10 pretty good chin ups in a row with room for improvement.
5) Think longingly about doing the Forbidden Forest Run and hopefully be in good enough shape to accept an invitation ... favourable intuition prevailed ... I passed this time until a better opportunity arrises ;)
6) Do the Fluffy Bunny Trail Run and not be concerned about getting lost (it's a CFA event after all) ... something about this being "the toughest trail run ever" hasn't scared me off. I'm feeling good enough to think about doing it still for the first time.
7) Dirty Duo 25 Km ... oh ya baby! number 2 on the new course.
8) Do the CFA Vancouver World Run 50K on March 26 with Jesper Olsen ... yup but a shortened version 'cause I'm just not a road runner after all.
9) Crew the Crew and run one section at the new CFA Vancouver 100 trail run in June ... it was allll goooood!!!! I watched the guys have a super day and joined Mike for the section between Cleveland Dam and Mtn Hwy.
10) Run the CFA Pure Satisfaction 24K in December ... short and fast for me this year and feeling awesome. Since there was one more event added after mine (Galbraith Mtn Run) I did it for good measure as well. Nothing like a good run in December and it was awesome too.
