In July I started run-commuting the 10k to work and biking back, or vice versa, depending on where the bike was. Not every day, but a couple or few times a week. It would be nice to build that up in 2013 up to 50k a week consistently. Before I pulled my calf in October I imagined my progress was going to grow exponentially and by the summer I'd be running ultramarathons, but I think I have to be more realistic. So I picked a handful of more modest goal races for 2013:
St. Patrick's Day 10k Road Race, March 17
Calgary Marathon half marathon May 26
Stampede Road Race half marathon July 7
Dino Dash 10k early Sept (Road Race)
Rock the House Run 10k Sept 22 (Road Race)
Gorilla Run Oct
Last Chance Half Marathon Nov 10
I point out the road races because you haven't really run a race in the city if you've never run down the middle of a closed road with hundreds of your new best friends. The police close the streets so people can run and walk on them for fun. How cool is that?
