The 2-0-0-9 Challenge

So let's see

Break 20:09 in a 5k ?

See - now that is a great "out of the box" goal right there! 

 This is going to be pretty fun, eh? 

Great idea. I started playing with 2009, trying to figure something I could realistically do. When I added 2009 minutes of yoga, plus 2009 minutes of strength training, plus 2009 on the bike, 2009 swimming and 2009 walking/running, I came up with 10,045. I divided that by 50 weeks and ta-da...200.9. So perfect, I knew I'd found my 2-0-0-9 challenge.

It comes out to a bit under three and a half hours a week for 50 weeks. That's definitely more than I've done this year. And if I manage more, I'll feel great!

Sounds cool, could do the run, I am at 1600 on the bike this year so I could push it to get the bike in. But not sure about the swim, I am at 44 miles so I would realy have to work to get the swim up there but it would be fun to try.

Thanks for the idea.

20:09 or greater mph average on bike for sprint distance.

Lose 20.09lbs...

Run a sub 20:09 5k...

Always give 200.09%

Haha thats what I have in mind...Hopefully I get it done!

My 2009 goals: 

Lose 20.09 pounds

bike 2009 kilometers

swim 200.9 kilometers - I don't think this is realistic for me... still working on a good swim goal

run 200.9 miles each quarter (Jan-Mar,Apr-Jun,Jul-Sep,Oct-Dec) - total miles = 803.6

I'm going to do this challenge.  I am going to swim 200.9 miles and bike 2009 miles.  Haven't a clue how I will do it, but, by golly, I am going to try.  I just couldn't get a reasonable (for me) running goal to work within the 2009 framework. I am trying for 1,500 running miles and to complete the 100 pushup challenge (which is only supposed to take six weeks, but I figure it will take me a lot longer).

Okay - I've given this a lot of thought and seriously crunched numbers to come up with something challenging, but still (hopefully) do-able.

1.) Lose at least 2.009 inches from my waist

2.) Lose at least 2.009 inches from my hips

3.) Bike at least 200.9 hours for the year

4.) Run at least 200.9 days of the year

5.) Swim at least 20.09 hours per quarter

I came up with one more 2-0-0-9 goal...

6.) Do at least 20.09 bricks this year
