Okay, I'm in! January is a huge month for me so...

1. Finish the Disney marathon before they sweep me
2. Turn 35 (on marathon day) without throwing a fit Big grin
3. Try running in the snow while in Germany (I HATE the cold and snow so this is huge)
4. Begin 15K training (goal for that is to run the entire thing under 2 hours; yes I am slow but faster than last month)
5. Eat better foods

1. Begin and be true to the Higdon Intermediate Marathon training schedge.
2. Run in the morning! Regardless of weather!
3. Be gentle on myself in the Manhattan Half, remembering it is part of my training and that I will have just passed another qualifying hurdle that (for shame!) needs more focus than my running.
4. Stay on WW everyday so I can lose some freaking weight.
5. Yoga once per week. And the dreaded foam roller daily.
2008 Goals
  • Run 1250 miles
  • Get down to 135!
  • Break 5 hours in the NJ Marathon

    This is a good idea - thanks for posting. It seems more manageable to target goals by the month than by the year.

    1.) Run at least 4x per week each week

    2.) Run 60 miles

    I'm still trying to define this for myself.....what I WANT to get accomplished vs. what I think is possible!! This is my 1st winter since beginning running.....Living in a snow zone (14" of new snow this week & real feel temp -2* just now!), I need to consider other factors....I don't have a treadmill....snow shoeing may be a good crosstraining alternative ....& I have my granddaughter full time, which limits me getting out of the house sometimes.....so, I think for the months of Jan/Feb I'll need to focus on quality more than quantity! - & I'm sure that I'll be refining that as I go.....So!

    1. Get outdoors & run or snowshoe as much as possible (shooting for 3+ x's per wk)
    2. Lose 5 lbs (refocus on tracking/journaling food intake as well as excercise)
    3. Strength training 3 x's per wk @ min. 30 min. sessions
    4. If the weather smooths out, start the 10K training schedule! Smile

    I need this: visual evidence of my as-yet ill-conceived plan! Confused

    1. Keep increasing long runs, up to 9 miles by month's end.
    2. Add in a tempo, fartlek or interval run every week - hopefully my speed will be less pathetic!
    3. Do some core training 2 x per week.
    4. Eat less crap.
    5. Stay healthy, now that I've paid for the Grouper 1/2 in March!
    Be yourself.

    I'd like to get at least 100 miles, but ideally just get out the door every day. I think this will take care of the 7lbs that has mysteriously glommed on to my carcass in the past month and a half.

    1. Run 75 miles.
    2. Pick out a 5 and 10 K training plan and find a race later in the year to really focus on.

    I need to run more consistently this year. Last year I had one month of only 20 miles and one month of 80 miles. I average 52 miles a month for the whole year. I need to stop the extremes and just get consistent.
