Thanks MLCM, but give me the writing and running energy of Sweder anyday. Let's leave that one there at the moment though.
2010 - a more interesting topic. Yes, I remain optimistic and excited too. I've had a patchy December, but so be it. Nothing wrong with a spot of downtime. The trouble is, it's rarely scheduled, so it tends to push out my plans/hopes rather a lot. As long as you can keep your head above the swell of disappointment, you're OK. I think that's something it's taken me a long time to learn. I'm still determined to get a clean sweep of PBs in 2010, though the target races may shift here and there. I have to nominate certain races to keep motivated, but if I don't get a good run when I say I will, too bad. I will just have to shift the attempt to the next one. I still aim to do well at the Reading Half in April, but if I don't get my sub-2 that day, it will have to happen a bit later on.
A lot of races coming up. I think I have 6 already entered, with several more planned. It's the way to keep focused. As long as I don't get injured, I'm very confident about the year ahead. Sounds like you're on a roll as well, so let's hope you manage to knock over some of your targets.
