Ean Jackson's 2006 Fitness Resolutions

This is bizarre for a last-minute, non-committal kind of guy to actually plan out a year in advance! Here goes:

Running events: 

  • Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50 (Since I host it, I kind of have to run it, don't I?)
  • Squamish Scrambler Snowshoe Run
  • Capilano Canyon MardiGras Night Run
  • Mountain Highway Madness (at least 2X)
  • North Shore Enduro
  • XTC
  • Knee Knacker (assuming I get in)
  • Bill's Great Peak Ascent
  • STORMY
  • Capilano Canyon Midsummer Nite Night Run
  • Forbidden Forest Run
  • Mountain Highway Madness
  • Silvertip
  • Go Deep or Go Home
  • 2 hash house harriers runs (dates TBD)

Apart from the running events, I aim to: 

  • go to at least 50% of the Capilano Eagles Tuesday workouts (yes, rain or shine!)
  • stretch more...to the point where I can touch my toes
  • get in the pool once a week (on average)
  • get on the bike once a week (on average)
  • get into the gym twice a week (on average)
  • get on the snowshoes once a week (on average while there is snow)
  • get in at least 10 days of downhill skiing at Grouse and 5 at Whistler
  • not get injured any worse than I already am!
  • share some of my experience with a few up-and-coming runners and race directors
  • drink more water and less beer

That's 25 resolutions. Yikes!
