New Beginings.... A little early

I have always been an impatient sort. I.m ready to start the New Year's resolutions now! I want to set the goals, make the plan and get it started!

This weekend I will be running in my first Ultra! A Fat Ass 50k in Lancaster, SC. I am really looking forward to it, although it is supposed to be rainy and cold. Oh well, maybe my feet will get numb and I won't feel any pain late in the race!

I really don't know what to expect on Saturday, I know it will be fun though. I have been training okay, although not specifically for this distance. I did an Ironman 5 weeks ago so the aerobic base should still be there ,...enough to get me through anyway, I'm not going to be setting any records for sure! I will go out slow and then ease off as team slug likes to say.
I raced a 1/2 Marathon and a 10k since the Ironman and had a long run of 16 miles on trails last Fri. All that is left now is short runs, rest, and carbs.

I am going to focus on the run this year. The bike has always been my strength. I would like to bring the run up to that level. I will work on speed in the pool as well but will really focus on running.

One goal I know I want to achieve is to have a 1 year streak of running every day. At least one mile. EVERY day of 2008.

I'll save some of the other goals for New Years Day.
