Contests and Challenges

2010, can't wait to meet you.

And the winner is....

I am happy to announce that Kristie Congram is the winner of the 2009 Refer a Friend contest.  Despite being sidelined by surgery and injury, Kristie refered 3 new member to join Club Fat Ass. Thanks, Kristie.

Here are the final standings: 

There is no one on this planet than I admired more than my Grandpa Eads. My grandpa always told me to set my goals high. Even if I didn't reach them, he argued, I'd get further along than if I had set the bar lower. Well, it stuck and this mentality is evident in my 2010 running plans. A couple of these races are tentative due to travel/logistical challenges I need to work out. Of course it ALL hinges on me staying healthy & injury free. 

Time to draw the lines in the sand for 2010. 

Last year saw me injured for the first 7 months and on the comeback trail for the balance of the year.  For the first time in 4 years, I feel as though I am starting the year with a fitness base I can build on.

It's never too early to think about New Year's Resolutions...

As the annual odometer gets closer to rolling-over, I've been thinking about what I can still do to achieve the fitness goals I set out for myself at the start of this year. This got me thinking about what I'll do to keep my sorry ass moving in 2010.

Given that I plan to once again host a little resolution run on New Years day, I figured I'd also once again offer my guests, and anyone else who is interested, a place where they can log their 2010 fitness resolutions.
