2012: The year of the 2 hour half marathon

I dubbed 2011 The Year of the Marathon. It was all about 42.2kms on the Gold Coast and I had a blast training and running it. It was disappointing to not be able to back it up for the Melbourne Marathon, but the ITB injury has allowed me to step back from distance to focus on slightly faster speeds.

The other big life goal was to pursue a new career and after starting the application process at the start of 2011, late December I started on a new vocational journey.

As I've mentioned I don't do resolutions per se, but I do like to set myself goals for the year. There's 12 on the list for 2012 funnily enough (some left over from last year!). However half of them are fitness/health related:
• Run 2 half marathons
• Ultimate goal: A sub 2 hour half marathon (I'll happily take 2 hours flat!)
• Race volunteer
• Obtain level 10 in the beep test
• Weigh 55kgs
• Ride 1000kms
