Vancouver 100 (strictly more than half the distance)
Kneeknackers
a 100k (Foolish run, maybe?)
Frosty 50k, faster than 2011 time of 7:50
Participate to 10 CFA events
Pick up garbage (!)
Bag all the peaks within reach of public transit, without a bike (list TBD, but it's a somewhat objective criteria). In other words, something like all the peaks below and including the line: Runner, The Needles, Crown, Harvey. (West Lion excluded.)
3 waterbags out of the 4 I can think of: Cypress range, Grouse range, Seymour range, a peak up from Lions Bay.
Run the TCT from Horsehoe Bay to Langley, with the Boundary Road -> Langley section in one go. Run more of the TCT than Ean.
1. Complete (my first) 2 Ultras (maybe the Kneeknacker route plus one additional one)
2. Complete 6 CFA events plus 6 flash events (days of peak bagging would count as a flash event since it serves a club related purpose)
3. Volunteer or collect garbage while participating in CFA events on 3 occasions throughout the year
4. Get to know my fellow CFA members (potentially being able to recognize at least 20 of you on the street by the end of the year, know your names and remember at least one detail about you)
Though not generally inclined to air my hopes, dreams, failures, and shortcomings in public, as I sat in bed this morning rather hung-over, 3 doughnuts into my requested birthday breakfast of a plate of Tim's and a double-double, and having already missed my morning ski, I stumbled across the CFA Resolutions Contest and thought the threat of public humiliation might be my best option. In the spirit of getting my fitness back on track I resolve to do at minimum:
Alas, both Jackie Muir and I are both "Jackie M.", so for those who don't know me, I am NOT Jackie Muir, and she has NOT drastically simplified her running goals for 2012.
My (modest) resolutions for 2012 are:
- participate in at least six CFA events
- actually host Sunshine in September in SEPTEMBER!
- run at least three >21k races/events this year
- run my first 50k event
- log > 1,200 km over the year
That's it...Jackie (Montgomery)
* 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
I am feeling more like a cyclist these days then a runner....certainly haven't been able to put any mileage in since earlier in the year. I guess my main goal this year is to get rid of the very painful heelspur that has been plaguing me and prevented me from consistently running:
Goal #1: Healing the painful heelspur on my left foot.
It's beginning to look like a trend: Start the year with great expectations, injure myself, and hobble through the rest of the year. Although I didn't set any world records, or even set any personal best athletic accomplishments in 2011, I'm please to say I'm ending the year in one piece and happy with how things turned out.
