Tiger Woods and Me

Yesterday I ran a total of 5K on the treadmill at the gym, and off in the distance I watched the TV which was focusing on Tiger Woods. As I watched, I thought Tiger and I have had a similar year. No no no ..... I don't mean I am recovering from a scandal of cheating with a dozen skanky ho's. I'm talking about our careers - his is golf, mine is running.

Tiger's professional year was horrible - no wins, missed cuts, and a lackluster Ryder Cup. I found myself out of shape, ran a lackluster half marathon, and felt like I needed to regroup, but was not sure how. So now both of us need to put 2010 behind us, and look to the future. It's clear I need not only goals, but I need a plan to achieve those goals. I think I know the goals I want to achieve, which I will talk about soon. How to put the plan together is another story. I know I can't have another 2011 running wise, like I had in 2010.

I know I want to do one marathon, and at least 2 half marathons. Which ones are up for grabs with Boston out of the picture. Thoughts anyone? I could use some advice.

Come and do Nashville in April. Its a hilly run to say the least. It was my first marathon but it is a lot of fun.

Hi Robert,

Nashville is almost too hilly. I could only really do a hilly, hilly one if it were Boston.
