I'm very glad I ran in the New Years Day Fat Ass 50 and Freeze Your Fat Ass Off Swim (minus the swim as usual). I'm also glad that I didn't get really sick from doing it. It's been a long standing question of mine whether you should run when you're sick or stay at home and hide under the covers. Having had my heart set for a long time on a great start to the new year I decided to brave the elements.
Keeping it simple and with the understanding that I am not in the contest for 2010 because of a post Dec 31 entry, I thought I'd put some ideas down for my running goals. And I'm looking for suggestions/invitations from others to help me out:
hey did anybody notice that Jesper Olsen won the international 6 day race ... again?
Check out his picture. He's in a light blue shirt with the word "Ecco" on the front. You'll need to scroll through the pictures to find him but there are a few there.

Russia expels global trekkers

MOSCOW, Russia -- A British explorer and his American fellow traveler who entered Russia without going through a border checkpoint will be deported and fined, dealing a serious blow to their dream of walking around the world.
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.
