I'm in the early process of organizing a half-marathon charity event . . . . should be able to confirm details in a few weeks. Timed for June 16 right now, in the Calgary area. So I hope all of you with New Years Resolutions will show up!!!
I usually run four or five half-marathons in a year. Hurt my back in early November and lost a lot of fitness through the last six weeks . . . . so the struggle in January is to endure the pain of getting things back up to speed again.
At my age, I'm not really int the business of getting any faster . . . . its just trying to avoid getting slower.
More hiking in newer places with the dogs, including through the winter.
More biking southwest of the city where I live.
More long distance running on bright, sunny winter and summer mornings on lonely country roads, hoping I don't get bounced by a stray cougar.
I usually try to find a half-marathon or something to wrap a vacation around. Ran a half in Tuscon in early November. But haven't got anything planned so far for 2012.
In other words, same kind of year as the year before and the year before that. An ultimately futile attempt of trying not to get older.
