But in the last 14 months, I've set the bar progressively past that, to the point where I'm now aiming to break 2:00 (hopefully also at BMOkanagan). I'd say you'll make your 1:55 goal as long as you follow the other four rules you set for yourself. We'll have to keep tabs on each other, make sure we're on pace!

The arm swing, doh, why haven't I thought of that! I'm not sure I swing mine much, but it makes sense to swing forward. I didn't know that about the toe either, maybe that's why it's so common that runner's lose their toenails? Interesting stuff, looking forward to your training for this mighty goal!
