Oh, that's right...  Kittie!

It's been a little while.  You guys got the place looking good.

It's time to face the 2015 music, folks.  I had a great year despite missing 3 out of 4 of these arbitrary goals.

 

I guess I can sort of update this just so I can look back on it at the end of the year.

 

I have no idea for race times.  I feel like I can improve by a lot, but I also could very well miss any specific goal I set for myself.  So, these are not "goals" per se, but "would be nice to haves":

 

• 2500 miles
• sub 3:15 marathon (planning on running two of them, and if I do nothing else, I'll be happy if I achieve this)
• knock a few minutes off my HM PR - I feel this is my biggest opportunity for improvement.  I only took 22 seconds off my PR in 2014, despite setting a PR twice (planing on running 5-6 HM's)
• sub 20 5K would be cool.  I won't specifically train for it though and just hope my natural progression takes me there.

• I'll come up a little short of 2500 miles
• No sub-3:15.  Have to settle for 3:16.
• I knocked about 90 seconds off my HM PR, not the "minutes" that I had hoped.  I ran four of them.
• This I did.  I ran seven 5K's in 2015 and averaged 19:47.

It's funny that when I set these goals, doing a triathlon wasn't on my radar.  I ended up doing seven of them.  

2016 is setting up to be even better, though I don't know how I'm going to fit a marathon into my schedule.  That may have to wait until 2017.

First half of the year is going to be dedicated to the 5k, second half to the 50k.

So I placed second overall in a 50k early in the year and then PR'd a 5k late in the year, I'll take it! lol

My goal 50k is this Saturday, so we'll see how that goes.  Should be in line for a solid PR and hopefully place in Masters.

I would like to:

 

• Sub-21 5k (20:29)
• Race a 10k (Fail)
• Half Marathon PR (yes - 1:32:16)
• Sub 3:20 marathon (3:16:53)
• Run Boston (Done)

I don't even remember writing these.  haha

I guess I should run a 10k this year.

1. Officially run 50M either in a fixed time or 50M race

2. Officially run 100K either in a fixed time or 100K race

3. Redeem myself at IAT 50K by finishing

4. Explore more trail races, preferably ultras

5. Have a blast at NC 24

#1 done, twice

#2 not yet, one more opportunity for this on the 28th

#3 done

#4 more training on trails, but only one trail race

#5 done in a grand fashion

1.  Fully healed ankle // stay uninjured

2. 1000+ miles

3. Run lots of races :-) including the NYCM

4. Beat the blerch!

1. I think I've mostly achieved this one so far.

2. Yes, currently at 1340.

3. Done.

4. Eh, still fat, but not appreciably fatter than last year.
