So, after many chaotic years of my life, I’ve finally pulled things together and am on a solid comeback pace. For the first time in I can’t remember how long, I have genuine motivation, I’m not running just “to do something” or “for old times sake”. I’ve gotten back with my old athletics friends, with my old coach. Just feels great to be back.
I’ve been doing hills for 8 weeks now. Next week I’ll be starting track work. Still not doing that many sessions a week, I guess I’ll keep it at 3 a week for now, don’t want to do too much too soon. My idea is to have a light prep and compete from mid September to mid December (which is summer here).
My main goal is to compete a lot this year, I just feel like running a lot. I’m not overall worried about times. But I guess I’m aiming for something like my 2002 season, when I started track after 3 years doing nothing, I went from 13.3 to 11.7 and 23.5 in three months of competitions. I’ll just be aiming to improve in every competition.
