I mentioned in my last post that I ran my first half marathon in November. This is part of a new direction for me from training strictly to meet mountaineering goals to doing endurance sports. I would love to just climb, hike and snowboard all of the time but it is just not an option for someone who has to work and be part of a family. So in order to be able to participate in sports on a consistent and regular basis I have chosen sports that I can fit into my schedule and offer a challenge. After swearing off running when I got out of the Army I started running to get in shape for mountain climbing. Now I am running for running sake more and am finding it very enjoyable. It does help me to have a goal in mind such as I had for the half marathon. I have set some goals for the upcoming year. Some athletic and some mountain sports goals. It is a rather ambitious list but It helps me to have goals. Just remember to stay in the fight and get results!
