Sibylle's 2010 Resolution Recap

Because of a torn calf muscle, my resolutions and plans for 2010 were modest.  It's time to look back and evaluate how I did:

Goal #1: Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50km.  
Achievement: Accomplished 100% - not only did I finish the full 50km, I also improved my time.

Goal #2: Marathon under 4h.  I would like to find a spring or fall marathon somewhere less than 1h drive from Vancouver.   Will this be the year I crack the 4h mark?
Achievement: 0% - Running the 50km on New Year's Day wrecked havoc with my Achilles Tendon and I opted against training for and running a marathon

Goal # 3: Increase my running pace.  Speed workouts 1x a week
Achievement: Ahem, I'll give myself 30% here.  When not injured, I did make an honest effort. 

Goal # 4: Participating in at least the following other events/races:

  • Squamish Scrambler Snowshoe Run (no)
  • Capilano Canyon MardiGras Night Run
  • Mountain Highway Madness (2laps)
  • XTC 50K
  • Bill's Great Peak Ascent (out of town)
  • Capilano Canyon Midsummer Nite Night Run
  • Go Deep or Go Home
  • Sunshine in September
  • M&M's
  • Pure Satisfaction

Achievement: 8/10 = 80%

Goal # 5: One other Ultra run 
Achievement: 0% because of injuries

Goal # 6: cross training to avoid injury and keep those rusty joints nimble (bike, weight, skiing, badminton, swimming - all counts)
Achievement:  While I recovered from the calf and Achilles injuries earlier in the year, I messed up my ankle in a fall and was out of commission from late summer on.  I did manage to bike 2-3 times a week. 80%

Overall, nothing to write home about - 48.3% achievement rate.  Let's try this again next year.
