Haven't been the most inspired blogger of late... Oh well. Despite the lack of updates, the workouts haven't suffered, on the whole; I just haven't been all that diligent about getting here to post them. I've actually enjoyed the break, at that.
I'm not big on resolutions, but I do have goals for 2011:
Number one, of course, is to get into graduate school. I know what I have to do, and I just have to stay out of my own way and keep on doing it.
Number two is to do my first ultra. I am actually only planning on doing trail races this year, although if my sister and I can work it out to do a road race or two together, I'm game for that, as well. But the biggie for the year will be a 50K trail. I'm also looking at two 15K trails, and maybe a trail half, a 12 hour trail, or possibly a second 50K trail. We'll see, and of course it's all dependent on my staying healthy. I'm very, very encouraged by the fact that I had no real physical issues this past year; I credit that to my strength training program and I plan to keep that up to the maximum extent I reasonably can throughout the year.
And that's it for the biggies. I'd also like to tweak the nutrition a bit, mostly because I think I've gotten into a bit of a culinary rut. I've been reluctant to change much because I feel good and my weight has been rock steady - why mess with success, right? - but my shopping list has been the same, more or less, for several months now and I know I should work in some more variety. I've started working on this already, and need to make it a point to keep it up.
I'm looking forward to a challenging and fulfilling year, and I wish everyone who is reading this the same in 2011.
