2019- looking back & makin planz

so, It's Boxing Box 2018- I'm sitting at my uncle's place in Saint John waiting for the World Jr to come on. Team Canada are defending Champs. My Dad and my cousin Ali are here. I ran with Ali today, Run 112 of 2018 - just over 500 miles. I've had over 500 miles every year since 2005 now all logged on Garmin. I had a few 500 miles plus before that but it was pre-garmin. This was my lowest mileage year however in the past 15.

Was not able to find the time, motivation, or the drive to train properly for Ironman Tremblant. Deferred due to injury then have given up on that dream. I don't think this is something I can do without swim training like I was able to do for the half ironman. One swim a year on raceday just isn't enough training :)

A couple new developments: one being adding a new virtual trainer and ZWIFT to my training. I have figured out how to link Zwift to my Garmin so this should reflect nicely on my 2019 totals. Also, Strava, which I resisted, is a nice add to the training.

Plans for 2019:

Hypothermic Half in February
Lorneville Loop in April
Fredericton Half in May
Father's Day Race in June
Campobello Marathon - June 23, 2019
Marathon by the Sea in August
KVC Memorial Marathon in September
or Legs for Literacy in October
