Well, as you know it has been quite a while since I've written anything and as you would guess, I have not been consistently running either. I'm going to save you some time and let you choose the excuse you want to hear for my lack of running consistency: blizzard, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, sick baby, rescuing puppies from an oncoming train, etc.
Needless to say, it is time to renew my consistency. Based on the past entries, it looks like I am more consistent when I have goals in front of me that threaten public humiliation if they are not met (see my 5k race on July 4th). In that spirit, here are my goals through the end of 2009 and my mid range goals through 2010. Through the end of 2009, I will be running in 3 more 5k events. I am already signed up for the DRC 5k on November 1st and will be signing up this afternoon for the Route 66 mayor's 5k in Tulsa on November 29th if anyone wants to join me, I would love to meet you there. I am guaranteed to make you feel good about yourself and your mile splits. I am looking at a race in mid-October and that should take care of the rest of this year for races.
For 2010, my goal is to run in a 10k by the end of the first quarter and to compete in a half marathon by the end of the year. Ambitious I know, but I know that having a deadline (and paying for race registration) will make me train better.
More later, thanks for following!
Could you send me information about the run in tulsa? I might actually start using my gym membership if I know I have to run in the cold with my brother-in-law who would torment me about it forever if I wussed out.
