Runner's Resolutions

I'm a few days behind the pack on the New Year's Resolution front, but better late than never, right? Here are my running resolutions for 2009.

1. No injuries. This is a biggie, because it's so easy to get hurt without realizing. But now that I know my own limits, there's no reason to ignore those little aches and pains. That said...
2. Gradual improvement. Every two months, I want to see some kind of indication that I'm getting better--whether it's a faster speed, increased distance, or even just more flexibility and better form. I've tried the too-fast-too-furious approach, and it didn't work, so the lesson has been learned.
3. Cross training. At least twice a week, and that's tough for me. Especially when it gets nice outside and I'm just itching to be out on the roads. But my plan is to find other outdoor activities on days off--tennis, biking, basketball, whatever it takes.
4. Run my first race. Even if it's just a 3K. Just to see what it feels like.
