“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Goals

Every year I have set a goal for myself each year getting a bit more ambitious. The goal for my first mini was simply to finish, since I had never run that far before and after doing this I've given and attained my goal every year.

Last year my time was 1:35:40, my goal was 1:36. There isn't special scientific way I come up with this number, essentially i just subtract roughly 9 minutes off my time and then look for a number around there that seems challenging yet accomplish-able. This year I want to finish under 1:27. However this goal may be a bit more challenging since I recently broke my ankle and was unable to train for a while.
