Where am I going?

I intended to keep this blog bike related and not get too personal. Well...there's not any bike related activities going on right now so I guess I have no choice.

First of all, I guess I would like to throw out there that I'm entertaining the idea of running a sub 20min 5K this year. I think it's achievable. I ran a 22min last year, and I never "trained" for such a thing. Just ran here and there when I felt like it. I found a few training plans and suggestions on line and have formulated my own schedule based on these. Yes, it's probably doomed to fail all by fault of my own. I'm horrible at following through with things and goals lasting longer than a few weeks (that's just about everything). But, sitting here in the cold of winter, I'd be glad to have 60 degree's and sun on my face while running my legs off.

Secondly, I kind of gave up on Cyclocross this season around thanksgiving. There's always that long holiday stretch with no races and of course my fitness fails me during those weeks due to lack of discipline. The last race I participated in was New Years eve day. I had zero expectations and that's the place I finished, DFL. BUT! I had fun!

Hopefully this new year I'll be able to set some goals and follow through with them. I'll keep you posted on how things are going. You keep true to yourself and follow through with the promises you've made for this year and the future.

Sub-20 for a 5k? Easy as pie! Not really, but if you train for it, I know you could do it. :)
