2004 - What have you got planned
Hmmm, goals for 2004. I never like to be too prescriptive about these things, because life has a funny habit of scuppering those best-laid plans, but tentatively:
1) FLM 2004. I'm lucky enough to have a ballot place so although I will be fundraising, I'm spared the added stress of having to raise a set amount.
2) Possibly Trent Park Triffic Trail 10K on 27th June. Did this earlier this year as my first 10K. It's a fairly undulating course with a variety of surfaces including tarmac, woodland trails, grass and dirt paths. Nice scenic course and I hope that my marathon training will knock a few minutes of last year's time (51:56).
3) Would like to improve my Nike 10K time - was disappointed with this (51:34) as although it's fairly undulating, it's all tarmac and I was expecting a more significant PB than I got, especially as I was training for the Windsor half at the time and was sure that the extra training would help. That said, it was a humid day and just one of those 'bad' days we all get as runners occasionally - just wasn't feeling on form.
4) Windsor half - did this in September as my first half and had a great race. Would obviously like to do it again to try and beat this year's time!
That said, I'd also like to try some new races as it can be a bit daunting having the pressure of a previous time to beat on the same course.
