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.

22 Days

Its already April and I don't know about you guys but I haven't exactly been sticking to my strict training schedule. Not that I make one. Possibly one of the best things about being young is being to go out and run 10 miles without any training. I bet my dad wishes it was the same for him, he lays out a 2 month training schedule that steadily increases his mileage week by week.

However, this year has been accompanied by some major road blocks for both of us, for me it was breaking my ankle, and for him, a pulled hamstring but regardless of my time the mini is always a fun.

This being my ninth mini im hoping its my best yet. It also wouldn't hurt if a few of the 33 year mini runners would call it quits so I can accomplish my goal of running the most mini's ever consecutively.
