Keeping it simple and with the understanding that I am not in the contest for 2010 because of a post Dec 31 entry, I thought I'd put some ideas down for my running goals. And I'm looking for suggestions/invitations from others to help me out:

1 January 2010 - 106 Starters

Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to Vancouver this year for the New Year's Day run and get 2010 started off in that way - but it didn't mean I couldn't run :)

The next best thing is running with my local group, the St. Louis Ultrarunner's Group (S.L.U.G.'s). They are a great bunch and had planned  a run at Hawn State Park near Ste. Genevieve, MO. It's a trail I had never run, so I thought it was an opportunity I must take.

1. Well 2009 saw the circumnavigation of the earth by bicycle, 44,500 kilometers of randonneuring brevets. I hope to make this 50,000 kilometers by the end of 2010.

2. Fat Ass 50 come rain or rain.

3. Knee Knacker for the seventh time if the lottery gods smile.

4. A road marathon, maybe Newport?

5. As many CFA events as possible, Capilano Night race and Pure Satisfaction for sure.

6. My first CanAm Pin which means doing a 1,200km brevet in Canada and the US, VanIsle 1200 and Cascade 1200?

7. Having fun whatever which way.

1. Vancouver New Year's Day Fat Ass 50 km & Freeze Your Fat Ass Swim - CFA - Jan 1 / 2010 - Custom Run with little Eric

2 -Participating in one Club Fat Ass events per month (or minimum 12/year)

3. Chukanut 50 km race in March

2009 was the year of least running, that's not going to happen this year. Here we go in chronological order:
