Funny how a torn muscle can dampen the excitement of making New Year's Resolutions. If you would have asked me 6 weeks ago, I would have been full of plans. Now I am a bit more reluctant, but writing down my goals for 2010 will help to achieve them!
Here we go:
Goal #1: Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50km. I did have ambitions for improving my time, but because I am not quite recovered from my recent soleus tear, I will be overjoyed if I complete the full distance.
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?
Goal # 3: Increase my running pace. Speed workouts 1x a week
Goal # 4: Participating in at least the following other events/races:
Goal # 5: One other Ultra run
Goal # 6: cross training to avoid injury and keep those rusty joints nimble (bike, weight, skiing, badminton, swimming - all counts)
Goal # 7: Recover fully from the torn Soleus and remain injury free!
