			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-176" href="http://www.samyrlaine.com/blog/looking-towards-the-new-season/attachment/pic_3"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-176" title="pic_3" src="http://www.samyrlaine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/pic_3.jpg" alt="pic_3" width="552" height="150" /></a>So now that’s it’s the middle of the fall I can truly say that my sights are set on the 2010 season. Although my last meet of the ’09 season, Worlds, didn’t go as I’d planned; my goal the entire year was really just to be there. <span style="background-color: #a00000;">I</span><span style="background-color: #a00000;"><span style="background-color: #a00000;"> </span>feel like I matured a ton as a jumper</span> later on in the season just by learning some little things here and there. As a result, I went to Berlin looking to make the final and that unfortunately didn’t happen. So while the majority of the track world considers 2010 to be a “down” year, I’ve got a long list of things I’m looking to accomplish and even if I don’t get ALL of them done, if I could just build on what I set in motion last year, I’d consider the season a success.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First things first: Indoors and Doha! <span style="background-color: #a00000;">The World Indoor Championships</span> are this season, in mid March to be exact and I’m looking forward to my second World Championships experience. This time though, I plan on making the finals. I suspect that it’ll take about <span style="background-color: #a00000;">16.90m+</span> to get into that top 8 final so the entirety of my indoor season will be geared towards getting out to at least that distance at Worlds.</p>
<p><span id="more-194"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I don’t have an indoor schedule set yet but I’m hoping to run a <span style="background-color: #a00000;">60 meter dash </span>just because I have a time in mind that I’d like to hit. Besides, it’s always fun to compete in a supplementary event every now and then. Aside from that I only plan on jumping 2 or 3 times before Worlds which means that I’ll have to make the most of practice and make sure I’m sharp so that when I hit the track I don’t squander any opportunities. I have no idea where I’ll be competing at those couple of meets either, except for the fact that I want to compete in NY at the <span style="background-color: #a00000;">Collegiate Invitational</span> come February. I’ve jumped there for the past 2 years and the Armory always feels like home considering I competed there in high school. All the familiar faces and competitors, including my parents when they can make it into the city, provides for a great experience. We’ll see if I can convince them to let me into the meet again</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I’m just trying to take 2010 one season, one meet, one practice, one rep/interval at a time and because of that outdoors feels like it’s years away so I’ll think about that later; way later.</p>
