2009 Running and Biking Plans Nearly Complete

In December I set my 2009 goals without knowing for sure when races would be scheduled and if I would be able to fit them in based on vacations, etc.

As things are falling into place it looks like it all may work out.

Here are my goals and where things stand now as we near the end on January:

Goal: On May 31, 2009 I will have run the Unser Half Marathon in April and the NM Run 4 the Zoo 10 K in May as part of my training for my second marathon.

- Unser half marathon is scheduled for April 18th and the Run for the Zoo is May 3rd and it looks like will be able to do both.

Goal: On Labor Day 2009 I will have run the La Luz trail run on August 2 and the New Mexico Half Marathon on September 6th.

- Things will still be on track for both of these – no out of town plans as of now.

Goal: By the end of 2009, I will have run my second full 26.2 marathon

- Ted has scheduled vacation for the week following the Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio November 15 and I have told more than a few people that I am seriously considering this event.

Goal: By June 30th, I will have ridden 75 miles of the Santa Fe Century and 100 miles of the Albuquerque Century.

- Plans are to ride the full 100 miles of the Santa Fe Century, and not the Albuquerque Century as I may be out of town for the Albuquerque Century.

Goal: By June 2010, I can ride the Santa Fe Century and/or the Albuquerque Century to its completion (100 miles) in less than 6 hours.

- Haven’t yet looked at 2010 just yet.

Goal: By September 2010, I can ride the Enchanted Circle Century.

- Looking at the full 100 miles of the Enchanted Circle Century for 2009.

That’s where I am so far, with almost 1/12th of 2009 done.

Today’s Accomplishments: Run 7.5 miles, 1 hour 9.42 minute, 9:18 min/mile (Garmin).
