Resolution

I'm 6 days late but I found one goal for the new year, which I'll hopefully attain before the summer.

I want to run a sub-20 minute 5k.

I already broke the 30 minute barrier, which was enough to create a loud BANG noise. Er.. no, wait. That's the sound barrier. Never mind.

Why running a sub-20 5k? Because We have four 5k races at work, once a quarter, where the winner gets $150. That's $600 per year!

And I want it. The problem is, there's this guy in my age bracket who runs the 5k in about 21 minutes, hence the sub-20 goal.

Training

I'm planning a toned-down, cardio centered crossfit workout during lunch, with one or two days of strength training every week. I will also run in the morning, 3 or 4 times a week doing mainly sprints like 4x400m or 8x800m and a longer run, maybe on Saturdays.

I'll also go back to my no bread, no sugar diet for a while, which is going to slim me down quite a bit. I'm hoping I can lose 10 pounds, which I won't have to haul when I run.

Goals

It's good to have a goal again! After attaining my goal of reaching my BMI last year, I was kind of in limbo. I didn't know what to train for and I wasn't very motivated to go to the gym . On top of that, I started eating bread and sugar during the holidays and had to go back a notch on my belt. Not good.

But now, with this new goal, I should be all set! Waking up early is gonna be a bitch though...
