Running and Orienteering in 2009
I will not run again this year!
The 4.8 miles this morning brought me up to 1232 for the year. There is a temptation to go out and run the extra couple of miles needed to make that 1234 miles for the year, but I will resist. 
Positives for the year
I completed my first marathon.
Reading Half – 1:34:53 – a race nearly exactly to plan.
Yateley 10k – it was the hottest day of the year, but I ignored that to run my best paced 10k of the year and sneak a small PB.
Swiss Orienteering Week – one week of orienteering in the Swiss hills. Nothing bettered the views of the third and fourth days.
Boscombe 5k – I’ve wanted this PB, and the sub20, all year and finally got it at the last chance. Also, it completed the PB set for the year. 
Things to improve on
I’ve not run often enough and I’ve not done enough long runs. Next year should come with more miles.
The balance between work and anything that is not work.
Racing too often – either I need to attend races and not go flat out or enter less races. I am not sure which of those will be easier to achieve.
Goals for 2010
PB at every distance I run.
Run more.
Continue to enjoy running and orienteering.
