What lies ahead for 2018...

I'm a very goal oriented person.  I like to start each year off with a clear list of goals that I'd like to achieve - both for myself and my clients.  It provides a template in which to build workouts and a timeline in order to get things done. 
I'm in the process of organizing the racing schedule for this year and to hold myself and my team accountable I wanted to put it all out there in my blog, because this helps make it real ;)

So here is the tentative list of races for 2018 where I will be either racing for myself or coaching my clients:

1) Jan 1 - NYE Midnight Run (2nd place in AG, 25:15) 
2) March 4 - New Balance Chilly half-marathon
3) April 7 - Race Roster Spring Run off
4) April 28 - Terra Cotta Trail Race
5) May 6 - Goodlife Fitness Toronto Marathon
6) June 3 - Ride/Stride for Heart 100K cycling
7) June 24 - TriMuskokan Triathlon
8) July 8 - Ironman 70.3 Muskoka Triathlon
9) Aug 18 - LOST swim race
10) Sept TBA - RBC Run for the Kids 15K
11) Sept 8-9 Haliburton forest trail run weekend (potentially my first trail ultra-marathon)
12) Oct 21 - Waterfront 5K-marathon race weekend

Now that the schedule is out there its time to get some work in. 
I'm going to suit up in my favourite & fast New Balance runners for my run training, and couple that with smart nutritional advice on healthy food to fuel all that training (think whole foods, unprocessed, simple ingredients with lots of veg, fruit, nuts & protein - a blog on that with my favourite training snacks is soon to come I promise - stay tuned). 

Time to tie up those laces on my favourite runners and get going. 
Look out 2018 - its going to be a fantastic year!
