running biking athletics training swimming exercise

I have a goal of placing in a race in 2016.  Now that I have a goal, it is time to start working toward that goal.

  1. Get started. I went for a 5-mile jog at 10:00 minutes per mile.
  2. Analyze ways to achieve your goal.
  3. I tend to eat a lot more than I did five years ago.
  4. I drink less water than five years ago
  5. I exercise a lot less than five years ago
  6. My body is a lot healthier than it was five years ago
  7. I am a lot weaker than five years ago
  8. Create a plan
  9. Realizing that I was frequently injured in the past, I cut down on the number of run days. I am afraid that reducing the amount of running that I do will hurt my chances for placing in a race but I feel that showing up healthy will increase my chances of placing in a race.
  10. The plan that I will post is a running plan. I will post the training plan after Alamedarunners II shows up to teach me how to format an excel document for posting.
  11. I chose a running event in September as my target race.
  12. I am going to race in 3 triathlons between now and the event that I am attempting to place in.

I picked two Brazen Racing events in September for my goal of placing.  I will be happy if I can reach a top 5 in both races.  Reason for my selections:

  1. I love Brazen races
  2. I like these courses.
  3. Both courses are very hot and very hilly.
  4. If I can achieve my hill climbing mentality for training, I have a good chance of placing in these races.
