2012 Resolutions

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions.  One embarrassingly recent year, I vowed to "be nicer," whatever that means.  This year's resolutions are all running related:

Run ten races.  1 down, 9 to go.  And along with that...

Do 9+1. 

Run a marathon.  Ocean Drive Marathon, I'm comin' for ya! 

Figure out pacing.  Last year, I went into races being all, "I just want to finish and run the whole thing."  I never had a finish time or goal pace in mind.  My friend Jill and I would just look at the clocks at the mile markers and go, "Yeah, 10 minutes something for that mile... sounds good."  This year I'm going into races with a goal pace and time in mind.

Figure out speedwork.  What's a fartlek?  What's that weird notation they use for speedwork? 

So excited to check these off my to do list!
