I'm sure everyone who runs felt the same revulsion over the tragic events at the Boston Marathon last weekend. It is inconceivable to think that person or persons would stoop so low to commit an outrage like this. Heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost loved ones and the large number of injured people. Sadly, nowhere seems safe nowadays from those that are hellbent on causing disruption of this kind. To target an event like a marathon is truly sick. Hopefully the authorities will find out who was responsible and punish them accordingly.
As we wait patiently for some nice spring weather it is time to get the goals and targets for the year ahead sorted out. I have joined my son in taking a challenge to run a 10k in July.This will mean an extra amount of training as the distance I have been targetting lately has been the 5k. Some longer runs built into the schedule should help and with a sensible approach all should be well.
Have you got a challenge for this year. Whether it is just to complete your first race or to run a certain distance within a set time, everyone needs something to aim for. This should provide the correct motivation to see you succeed in whatever you attempt.
