2009 Fitness Goals

I've been rather timid announcing any athletic goals for 2009. After my injury streak from last year, I didn't want to jinx my training with any lofty aspirations...

But, I guess I should put my plans for 2009 down, it's so easy to loose track:

Goal #1: Vancouver New Years Day Fat Ass 50km, ideally beating my time from 2008 (please note, because of the adverse conditions we will experience for this event, I will give myself credit for partial completion)

Goal #2: Marathon under 4h. I would like to find a spring or fall marathon somewhere less than 1h drive from Vancouver.

Goal # 3: Increase my running pace. Speed workouts 1x a week

Goal # 4: Participating in following other events/races:

• Squamish Scrambler Snowshoe Run
• Capilano Canyon MardiGras Night Run
• Mountain Highway Madness (2 laps)
• XTC 50K
• Bill's Great Peak Ascent
• Capilano Canyon Midsummer Nite Night Run
• Go Deep or Go Home
• Sunshine in September
• M&M's
• Pure Satisfaction

Goal # 5: weight training in the gym 2x a week
