January Gone

January has come and gone. While it was good to get back into running after the break, the weather and the decisionnot to run in the rain has done it's damage. Only 61k on the road and not a single 1 hour run to beat 10km.

The goals I set for January have not been achieved. February will be different. Rain will not stop me from running. My target is to run a minimum of 120km, being 1 hour runs, 3 times a week, with an average of 10km/hour or greater.

Again, once I make 3 runs out of 4 of 10km or more, the weekend run is to step up to 90 mins aiming for 15 km. Some speed work should assist in getting the 10km/hr speed more consistently over the longer distances.

The family has decided to aim for a Sunday outing each week. With the large number of beaches, I should be able to get a couple of swims into the month as well. Some bike work on the trainer can be added, but the focus is to get the running back on track. I need to be able to cover 15km in 90 mins each weekend comfortably.

2009 Goals:

  1. Mackay Half Marathon - July - 2:06:36 (6:00 min pace)
  2. Capricorn Half - August - 7:00:00 (1 hour PB)
  3. Validate for Ironman - August - 2010
