Mid-morning run on the snowy canal road.  I ran out to Sardine canyon and back, then decided to add on a couple more miles since I had the time.  I've had to start wearing sunglasses when I go running in the daylight because of the brightness of the snow.  I felt okay today, achilless was sore but nothing too bad.  I was glad to be done today.  I had a hard time talking myself out the door in the first place, but I got it done.  7:39 ave. per mile

(Kahana- 27 miles

 

My goals for the 2008 are simple:

*PR in all distances from 5k to marathon. 

*Sub 33:00 in a 10k

*Sub 1:11:00 in a half marathon

*Sub 2:30:00 in a marathon

*Get over my achilles tendonitis and stay injury free.

*Be even more consistent than last year with workouts and average two per week.

*2,500-3,000 miles

*Run at least 5 new races

*Cross train 3 days a week on top of my running

*Enjoy myself even more than last year.

Have you read anything on doing eccentric calf raises for your achilles. It really is pretty effective most of the time for achilles tendonitis. Google "eccentric strength for achilles tendonitis" and you can get the set schedule.

Hey, you can play ultimate with me after any Saturday runs in Logan as part of your cross training...

From James on Wed, Jan 02, 2008 at 16:27:00

Scott- Thanks for the heads up, I might give it a try.

Jon- I love to play Ultimate, but I don't know if I would consider it cross training, because all you do is run!

Good goals James. Your capable of blowing all those out of the water. Good job getting out today as well.

Thanks Clyde. The times you were running in 2007 are actually what I based my goals off of for 2008.

James, great goals, the sub 1:11 in the half, flat course sounds like a killer. We will all be watching your success.
