Goals

'Tis the season, right? I was just reading on one of the blogs that Neil follows about the guy who set himself a mileage goal for 2009. There's a thought - a mileage goal for 2010. Up to now, I've always just gone and run. What about setting a goal?

I don't know if I'll do another half marathon (at least right away), so I don't want to set a goal that's in keeping with constantly training for a big race like that. This past summer, I finally discovered why I like running and I only did about 5km at a time, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I'm more comfortable doing longer runs now and I would like to keep it up.

22km a week is do-able. That makes 1144km in a year. Wow. That would be like running from home to Portland, Oregon. Or Brandon, Manitoba. Or Rainbow Lake, Alberta. Or Surrey, BC. OK, I'll choose Surrey, because that's where my best friend, T, lives.

So far this year, I've logged 22.82km. South Calgary. Woo! Here I go!
