This year is the year of 'I Can'. No more excuses. No negativity. No doubts. Simply : I CAN!!!
I was sitting in my chair today, preparing my spreadsheet for the year and considering my options as to what I am going to do this year. So far there are only 5 things that are certain.
- I am doing the Stamford Valentines 30K (2008/02/10) (sadly without a partner in tow)
- I am doing the Los Angeles Marathon (2008/03/02) (hopefully with someone pacing me
) - I am doing the London Marathon (2008/04/13) (without anyone else, but hey, the atmosphere will be soaked up!)
- I am doing the London Triathlon (2008/08/10)
- I am doing the Great North Run (2008/10/05) (atmosphere!)
As for goals, I have 3 :
- Run 1500 miles
- Lose 2 stone
- Finish an Ironman
And all of those can be measured - publicly, you'll notice the mileage in my sidebar... I'll have to let you know about the weight loss thing... and the Ironman finish will be announced in the form of a race report sometime or another
I can do this. Because this is the year of I Can.

You most definitely can. I look forward to following your race schedule and progress in general.
Lisa,
Quite a list of am doings you have, and I like the positive attitude. With that attitude, I believe you will change “I Can” to “I Did”.
I meant to say Karin, ooops.
These are wonderful goals.
Yes You Can.
Rock on in 2008.
holy cow, that’s a lotta races. Happy new year.
