The end of 2009 ended with an injury so I took some time off and rested. This was difficult to do but the weather helped. 2010 has not started very good, the injury that I had at the end of 2009 is still around and has left me very frustrated. To try and stay in somewhat shape (not round) I have been biking more than ever. This has filled the void of not running in some ways but not fully. I would like the healing process to go faster, but I have been very lucky for many years with very little injuries. I feel that I might have to change some of my goals for this year. Also I am for the first time trying to plan my mileage for when I am able to return.
The bright side to this injury is that it is early in the year but my mileage goal of 2400 mile is not looking realistic.

I am taking a page out of my past to motivate my kids in Cross Country. When I was Cross Country it was a standard for all runners that have at least one year of high school cross country to run at least 300 miles. I was able to do this three times when I was in high school. The challenge was made to the 9-11 graders at my school. Some of runners think that it is too hard to run 300 mile in 3 months. REALLY this is a mileage that I now hit in about 6 weeks. I know that there are people how do this in less, good for them. I just don't see how this could be that hard. I remember that it was the first time in my running career that I had to commit to running. It was not easy then but since that commitment was made it was never a big deal to run 300 in 3months. I just want the runners to see the same success that they started to see near the end of this year. I hope there is a number of runners that take this challenge and run with it.
