My Next Goal for 2014
Heading into 2014 I was not running well. At all. I set a Half PW right off the bat then despaired of getting my shit back together. I have clawed my way back to run 2 marathons, PR a 5k and get into the ballpark of my Half PR. Halle-effing-lujah.
So. I have been staring at my Detroit Finisher Certificate for approximately 615 days. It is the last time I got a PR in a Half. It is taped up above my desk at work.
My next goal is to set a shiny new Half PR at the Edmonton Marathon on August 24th. In 2012 I ran a 12 minute PR there. Now I am not one to avoid hills. In this case however I am absolutely avoiding hills.
I do not do well with time goals. They stress the hell out of me. I think it is time to train hard at an aggressive pace and have a good try at this though. FYI I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and have been afraid to hit publish. Good grief. Balls out time.
Cue speed training.
