A modest set of goals for 2011

I have one main goal for 2011: get my fast back.

I lost it somewhere between graduating high school (almost 5 years ago... good God) and now. I was never the fastest at anything, by any means, but through injury and lack of dedication, I've lost at least a step, if not two or three. I'm not expecting to run 23 second 200s again. I'll settle for anything in the 24s. I'm not quite as resilient at almost 23 as I was at 18.

Reasonably attainable goals (at least I think they're reasonably attainable):

12.xx 100m
24.xx 200m
60.xx 400m
Sub-7 mile at Derby Street
Sub-25 5K
Sub-40 Turkey Trot
2:29:59 or better Half

List could be amended throughout the year, notably if I get picked to run NYC. Or if I manage to get dreadfully injured.

But no, fuck that. That's not happening.

If any of you have any tips, tricks, or workout ideas, leave them in the comments. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Let the renaissance of fast begin.
