Ah, January 1st - the time where so many people set fitness resolutions. My resolutions don't really have to do with fitness, they have to do with not letting my fitness goals take over my life. For 2010, my resolution is to balance my training with life - be more flexible with rearranging my schedule so that I don't let the rest of life (time with family, friends) pass me by, and probably more importantly, don't get too stressed out about this - its supposed to be fun! (DH will thank me if I carry through on the latter part especially!)
Now onto the (athletic) goals for 2010 - I'm sure I'll make tons of lists over the course of my ironman preparation, so get ready. I'm going to limit it to big goals for 2010:
1) Finish IMMoo!!
2) Qualify for the Boston Marathon (maybe not too smart to try to do #1 and #2 in the same year?)
3) Stay Injury-free! Incorporate stretching, core training, yoga, massage regularly....whatever I can do to avoid the injuries that have plagued me the last couple of years.
4) Improve my cycling fitness
5) Complete an average at least 90% of my scheduled workouts
6) Go hard on hard days, easy on easy days (see # 3!!!!)
7) Train with DH in his preparation for his first marathon in October!!!
8) Nail down my nutrition plan - I have struggled with nutrition in marathon training in the past and finally need to figure this out.
9) Take planned rest days. Take unplanned rest days if necessary and don't feel guilty about it because its for the better.
10) Blog about the journey!
