- I ACHIEVED MY GOAL OF RUNNING AT LEAST one 5K PER MONTH IN 2011
- That's it actually. I raced every month, and I loved it! The only month with a minor snafu was July. And that's because Lifetime Fitness cancelled the race at the last minute. I scrambled, but found a better race in Stillwater!
- December 3rd was my last race of the year and it felt amazing to complete my goal. I jumped up and down singing, "I did it! I did it! I did it!"
My goal for 2012 is in two parts. Part 1, race at least 1 race per month. The race can be as simple as a 5k, as involved as a triathlon, or as long as a half marathon (more on that later). Part 2, race EXTREME races! Thus far "extreme" includes the following:
- Polar Bear Plunge (So I realize this isn't a race. Unless you consider that I'm racing against NOT drowning!)
- Stair climb
- Triathlon
- Half Marathon (YIKES! Seriously, this one is the one that scares me most!)
- Obstacle race (I haven't decided yet on Warrior Dash, Tough Mudder, or Muddy Buddy)
- Mountain Bike Race (I'm not sure yet how many of the series I'd like to do, or which race yet. But after spectating at numerous races over the past couple of years, I know this is extreme!!!)
- Ragnar (duh, totally extreme)
- Salsa 24 (Although, we'll see about this one... mountain biking in the dark. Uh, yeah extreme!)
Happy New Year!
