Well, it's 2011 and I'm still cobbling together my race schedule for the year (i.e. sweet-talking my lovely wife into letting me run some of the crazier races), but I have figured out my goals for year. As stated, I've decided to keep 2011 within more reasonable boundaries. First off, my plan is to get my weight down to 160 and keep it there. Ugh. I can't believe that it's even gone up. Moving on! My race goals are simply put: to be faster than I was last year in every race distance.
Along those lines, I'm scrapping any formulaic training program and using my own what-do-I-feel-like-doing-today methodology. That being said, I will incorporate one day of speed/hill work and one long run. I'll also be working up my distance to get closer to 50-60 mile weeks, but at much slower paces than I did last year to reduce injury and increase recovery. Throw in a decent amount of cross-training/weight lifting to build strength, endurance and overall fitness, and I think I have a recipe for a decent year (consequently, this is close to the same formula that I used 2 years ago to get here). And add in a name change to the blog for some added motivation, and we're off!
