Notes
2013 Recap / 2014 Goals:
2013 PRs (almost all were lifetime PRs, if they werent then noted as such below):
Mile: 4:48 MIT Mini Meet Outdoors (Overall PR 4:41 - 2012)
5K*: 15:31 - Hollis Fast 5K, could also include 16:02 Tavern to Tavern which was probably a 3 mile race rather than 5K)
5K: 16:16 - Super 5K
5M: 27:08 - Common Fence Point
10K: 34:51 - James Joyce Ramble
1/2 Marathon: 1:14:16 - New Bedford
Marathon: 2:37:19 - Boston Marathon
Didnt hit any of my goals that I had set last year. For the 10K, 1/2, and full marathons, actually only ran one of each race in 2013, all in April or earlier. Had targeted the fall for my PR attempts but never got the chance. 5 mile still continues to leave me wanting more. 5K got me there with the Hollis race, but obviously cant count that. Didnt really race any 5Ks over the summer so once again had hoped to go fast during the fall but never got the chance.
Overall disappointed against my goals. They were pretty aggressive, but the disappointment is more that I lost the chance to attack them due to the injury. At the same time, hard to complain when each distance except for the mile resulted in a PR from the prior year. Had a great Boston as well.
Goals for 2014 will remain the same. Will be even more of a challenge with the baby due in May. Will need to get by with less miles.
2014 Goals (same as 2013):
Mile: Sub 4:40
5K: Sub 16:00
5M: Sub 26:45
10K: Sub 33:45
1/2 Marathon: Sub 1:14:00
Marathon: Sub 2:35:00
Overall: Keep running fun
