2008 schedule

I just wanted to write this schedule down incase anyone is interested. 2008 is the year I race to the best of my ability.

May - Sundown 84.5 kms
October - Chicago!!
October - New York?
November/December - Singapore
January - Bombay (not Mumbai - it will always be Bombay to me)

I also want to do a sort of relay run in New Delhi - something that takes me up to Agra and old India - this is not an organized event so not sure.

If I lived elsewhere, I would race every month - 15kms is my favorite distance since its long and requires no tapering. It is a rare distance to race at these days. 5 and 10k's seem to be very popular. I, however, lack speed and I perform better at longer distances since I have strong endurance. Asia does not have many organized events at any of the distances unfortunately. This makes it hard to gain racing experience - something that is crucial to peforming to your best ability in a marathon.

I have a goal for Sundown this coming May - it is very ambitious and makes me nervous - but this is all good - gets the juices going!
