It's Monday! And it's the beginning of December! How goes your running?

Have you made any plans for next year yet? Races to run, goals to strive for?

2014 plans, I haz them!
Spring is the usual March 1/2 marathon where if I get moving, I might actually get it under 1:50 (last one was 1:51 something so it's a legitimate goal)

Then a May marathon (in Mainz) where I'd like to shave 2 measly minutes off my PR and manage it under 4 hours

One 1/2 Iron triathlon in late summer - probably Wiesbaden where the 1500 meters of climbing on the bike and I have some unfinished business

And then in September, I'm going to run up an Alp. The Jungfrau Marathon starts at 568 m in Interlaken and hits a high point of 2320 m on the mountain before ending in Klein Scheidegg (2100 m). It neatly combines my love of doing stupid things with my love of mountains. So yeah. Run up a mountain! Who's with me?

Ive been trying to get back into training in some sort of regular fashion after July and spring racing is definitely the key.

That's a lot of plans, and I admire your goals immensely. RUN UP AN ALP. This is why I love you. (geez, you're kinda crazy, you know this?)

RUN AN ALP! That is so cool. I just found the virtual course tour at http://www.post.ch/flash/Post/InsightView/Jungfrau/index.html and it looks amazing - like a cross between a road marathon and a trail race.
