My goals for 2015 are less, albeit will need more motivation than usual since I dropped a lot of training during the summer of 2014, and I don&#8217;t want to go through that again:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>PR Los Angeles Marathon<\/strong><br \/>\nI really want this, but have not quite committed to it. I&#8217;ve already missed weeks of training and although January is gearing up to be better than the previous months, I fear it might be too late. Still, never say never, right?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run a 50km Trail or Road race<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is another goal from 2014\u00a0where I missed the mark completely. I haven&#8217;t registered for a race yet (commitment issue!), I want to be running it about a month or two after LA Marathon. Or if I miss that timeline, run the <a href=\"http:\/\/calicoracing.squarespace.com\/et-full-moon-midnight-maratho\/\">Area 51 Ultra in Rachel, NV<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complete an Olympic\/International distance Triathlon<\/strong><br \/>\nI only did one triathlon event last year and it was a sprint. +_+ If I want to\u00a0test my abilities and endurance level, I need to &#8220;graduate&#8221; to a longer distance. lol<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided (finally) to lessen the amount of races next year, as a continuation of a more subdued racing season from 2014. I&#8217;m teaching myself\u00a0that less\u00a0races doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean lower fitness;\u00a0although that&#8217;s essentially what happened in 2014\u00a0hahaha. I&#8217;m also still jutting between NV and CA (commitment issue, part deux), which means I gotta save my pennies for the trips to and fro &#8212; still can&#8217;t justify owning a car again. xD\u00a0Did I mention October 2015 will be my <em>Runniversary<\/em>? Come\u00a0October, it would be ten years since my first ever marathon in Chicago. Hoping to be able to run that race after 10 years!\u00a0^_^<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4911\" src=\"http:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2015\/01\/rad-dailymile2014_review.jpg\" alt=\"Daily Mile Review\" width=\"1092\" height=\"2018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2015\/01\/rad-dailymile2014_review.jpg 1092w, https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2015\/01\/rad-dailymile2014_review-146x270.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.radragon.com\/journal\/wp-content\/2015\/01\/rad-dailymile2014_review-325x600.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1092px) 100vw, 1092px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I tend to\u00a0write up a year in review post, but since\u00a0I hardly met my (running) goals last year, I&#8217;ve decided to just post my DailyMile 2014 Year-End review (screen captured from here).
