Running Goals and Races

Since running is an important part of my life, the running related goals gets its own page! ^_^

2016:
  • Speed and pacing: 
    • I've never thought of myself as an athlete, and definitely not a "fast runner". But since I've committed to running as part of a triathlon relay. I'll aim to focus a bit more on the numbers strictly for training purposes. The practice will go into race day, but race day is still about ultimately about the Run. :)
    • 25 minute 5K as part of a sprint triathlon relay
    • Sub 2 hour half marathon -- let's make this the year!
  • Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend: Half Marathon on Sunday May 29, 2016
    • First time racing in Ottawa
  • Toronto Triathlon Festival-- Sprint Triathlon Relay (5K Running portion) on Sunday July 9, 2016
    • First time running as part of a triathlon relay team
    • Aiming for a 25 minute 5K
  • The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon (STWM) again on October 16, 2016
    • Third time running this race
    • Aiming for a sub 2hr finish!
2015:
  • Try a local running group by going to at least 2 of their meet up runs.
    • I've always run alone. And I think this affects my motivation of being the consistent morning runner that I strive to be. 2014's experience of running with people in HK has enlightened me on the benefits of group training and I think peer support would keep my motivated towards my other running goals too. I hope to brake out of my shell (a teensy bit) as a runner in 2015. 
  • Run a sub 2 hour half-marathon.
    • This didn't happen. But I'm not feeling upset about it anymore. :) Key word is anymore.
*Note: This isn't a running blog, so I won't necessarily write race reviews on all my races. I love running much more than writing.
