45 and New Goals!

Well folks I have made it to 45, and I have to say I feel very good today! In fact I would say I feel great!!!!

44 was full of accomplishments, and I wanted to make sure 45 will be a happy and healthy year for me. So here are my goals and races. Note...all races are tentative at this point.

My main focus will be on half marathons. I think a break from full marathons will be good for me. So I look at getting a PR in the half marathon. Ideally I would like to hit a 2:30. I believe I can do it.

I also want to focus on better cross training. Something which will help will be an indoor triathlon series my gym hosts. I don't want to do a full triathlon, but a smaller indoor one will work for me.

Finally, I want to be more mindful about what I put in my body. Tough as we head to the holidays, but manageable. I am going to work on an eating plan which will mean a healthier me.

So here is my tentative schedule for the year!

February 9 - FFC Indoor Triathlon Series

March 8 - FFC Indoor Triathlon Series

March 29 - FFC Indoor Triathlon Series

May 18 - Marine Corps Half Marathon (D.C. Area)

September - IU Mini Marathon (Bloomington, IN)

October - Duke City Half Marathon (Albuquerque, NM)

The latter two races will be hilly and the New Mexico race will be in a higher altitude. So there will be a challenge in those.

Of course there will be other smaller races during the year. This is all tentative, and I will work hard on these.

...45 and FABULOUS...
