Back in January when everyone was making New Year's resolutions, I really hadn't figured out my training goals for 2010. I think this was the first year in quite a few that I didn't have at least one resolution.
I still don't have a resolution for 2010 but I do have a running goal.
I am going to run a 4 hour marathon at the BMO Vancouver Marathon in May. The last time I ran this marathon was in 2002 when I ran about 4:40. Since then, my marathon PR is 4:24:54 at the Florida Marathon in December 2009. This was a hilly run and I feel like I can better the time. Of course, bettering the time by 24 minutes is a lofty goal.
After scouring the Internets to find a suitable marathon plan, I decided to hire a local coach to help me achieve my goal. I am now being coached by Calvin Gehlen of Finish Line Coaching. Calvin coaches quite a few of The SAA members and is our official run coach. If you are on Twitter, Calvin tweets as @FinishlineCoach.
With starting my new fabulous job and the Olympics being in town, I have had a pretty busy schedule. My training has suffered a little but I am sure will be on track again next week.
So there you go...no turning back now. I have put it out there. I am going to run a 4 hour marathon.
Happy Training!
