Reagan's 2012 Fitness Resolutions

reaganwhite — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:53:14 +0000

Goals for 2012 Running/Bagging Events:

* Finish in Top 3 in club point series, participating in at least 16 club events
* Finish in Top 10 in bagger challenge point standings, bag at least 12 peaks
* Build on 2011's 1st three ultras and run 4 ultras in 2012

Apart from the running/hiking, I aim to:

* serve another term on the steering committee, but do some heavy lifting this time around
* update the ActivePorker iPhone app for 2012, include a showcase for the Bagger Challenge

'Twas a beautiful Saturday morning

just after sun up when Baggers

William and Reagan started Seymour to ascend

What trail there was though faint at times

went up with twists and turns to

seemingly no end.

Rock, rocks, and more rocks!

Roots, roots, and more roots!

All to side step or trip upon.

Then can you believe snow fields

They say some things in life are better the second time around. I was hoping that would the case for running ultras, as I find the mental and physical challenges of these events (and the planning that can go into one's raceday strategy) irresistible.

Because of my mid-2009 return to running after a 17 year hiatus, my goals for 2010 were ambitious.

Downtown Dash Recap

The Wilder Snail is a warm, intimate neighborhood cafe/grocery set in the historic Strathcona neighborhood near Downtown Vancouver - what better place to start a Christmas Eve flash event that would span the urban jungle and along a rain and wind-swept seawall?

Cinny Bun Run Recap

.......A beach, some fast, rolling trails, and the best cinny buns around....

That was the basic idea for the 1st Cinny Bun Run, but I'll remember much more than that, including

Kidbag with son on 10-10-10 -- Memorable day, no cowboys!
