    I've been racing for some time now; some years are better than others.

    My major goal next year is a 40K time trial (24.8 miles) that I want to finish in under an hour. My best time to date is 1:02:30.

    My job. I have to maintain a maximum of 22% BF, and the better I am physically the better I do at my job.

    Decrease my marathon time. I'm a slow runner and tend to injure before races so my best time is 5 hours and I'm shooting for 4:30 in April.

    I have added some different exercises as a per-cursor to pull ups. Nerd fitness.com has a series of workouts that help you get to a pull up. So, I guess that is it although I would love to run in a Spartan Race. There is one close to where I live in June...it is a thought.

    Training for my 2nd Half (a Hypo in January) and then another Half in May.
    That's what's on my horizon at the moment, others are on my bucket list for 2013.

    My next race is a Spartan Sprint this Sunday in Fenway Park, and I'm super excited about that. I have a few 5ks over the next couple of months but the next big race I have is my first half marathon in May!

    I've signed up for a 10k on the 9th December. I'm really new to running so this is a big thing for me and is really keeping me motivated :)

    Training towards my goal of 14% BF and to build 7-10lbs muscle. Got rid of the 27lbs of padding on top of everything, now it's time for the dirty work.

    Perhaps a competition one day far, far away. Couple of years probably.

    And zombies.

    Not really an event, just life. My 7 year old daughter has cerebral palsy and can not stand. Getting her into her wheelchair and the bath tub was becoming a struggle for me. I have shifted my focus much more heavily toward strength training, so I can continue to care for her properly.
