Athletic Goals for 2012

[Dodsdomd]

Have a half marathon booked for May. Dreaming of a full in the Fall if I can find the balls for it.

[freedogger]

Going to run a Marathon. Only race I ever ran was a 10k this past summer in 57 minutes. Hoping to run 3:30 or at least below 4hours.

I signed my husband up for a full marathon this fall....

Oh, wait. This is my goal? I'd like to do the Mount Royal Sprint Tri again and shave 10 minutes off (with a decent bike, I might have a shot)

Beat Usain Bolt in the 100 M dash in London.

I am serious, at the World Sledge Challenge one of the Norway players broke his neck, from para to quad, just like that. Fataing hell I don't want that, I also don't want to be a fat lazy wheelchair bound alcoholic coke head having 12 volts push me around all day, sucking off the government teet.

In summation, I do not want to jeopardize my health any further, and this year I want to see how far I can go with my athletic pursuits.

[CMPunk]

To play rugby this summer and not blow a knee out

[LGA]

1) First Muay Thai fight (I've done a couple MMA fights, but not straight Muay Thai)
2) Run 10km in sub-40 (I've done 42 minutes before)
3) Get my Butterfly back to my old racing times (I'm about 10 seconds off my old times)

[The Goon]

Break 80 on the golf course. So close last year (81).

[drewboy12]

I plan on jogging every morning, changing up my diet, and long boarding every day. Goal is to lose 20 pounds by March 18th. Should be pretty easy living on a tropical island.

Well looks like I achieved my goal all ready. Here is some back story. Last may I downloaded the runkeeper app and decided to try it out. I ran 5k in 26 mins. That was the longest run I had done. At the end of the 5k I couldn't breath.

Monday I decided I should start running as my wife had backed out of a half marathon in Phoenix and we couldn't get a refund. Me being cheap I decided I would run it. I went out and ran a quick 4 k to see how I would feel and got a time of 20 mins. I felt good and then went and played tennis right after.

Last night I went out to try and do 10k to get me closer to the half marathon amount. For lunch I decided to eat 4 pieces of pizza and at 3 I had 2 beers and some chicken wings. Apparently this is my magical energy food. While I was out trying to do the 10k something took over and I suddenly had the urge to try and run the full 21k.

I ended up running 20.84 kms (I misjudged my route a bit) in a time of 1 hour and 53 mins. http://runkeeper.com/user/188836710/activity/65086068

I am still shocked I did this as I hate distance running. I am glad I was able to do it now I will have lots of confidence going into the Phoenix half marathon knowing that I can run 21k.

Need gas money ???

I have heard it pretty expensive over there...

[Otsy]

Be less fat!

Starting with hockey tonight, hopefully the inevitable sucking wind throughout the 3rd period will motivate me back to the gym and down about 25-30 pounds by the time flag football season starts end of May.

[moncton golden flames]

become a faster skater. i have the proper technique, but i need to increase my foot speed.

- Try Crossfit (anyone have any recommendations/experience with it?)
- Maintain current weight/lose the stubborn belly fat that WILL NOT go away no matter what I do...
- Do more yoga
- Become a faster runner. I am absolutely the worst distance runner there is. I think I am fairly fit, but I am much more of a high intensity intervals kind of gal. My 5km time is something north of 30 minutes I'd like to get that down to at least 27-28.
