This year my goal was to run one marathon, and I have run three. I do not know what I can do next year to top that, gonna run houston marathon in january, and probably try to run a marathon in Europe. I was hoping for Rome in March, but it does not look good right now.

I am running a half on Saturday...my first since my pregnancy, mold-induced allergy attacks (darn hurricanes), sprained ankle, sprained ankle, sprained ankle, and eight months of vertigo. I'm happy just to be out there! But...it is my dream to run a marathon. I had hoped to achieve this when I turned 40. It's going to have to wait for 41. I'd like to run a fall marathon in 2009. Or, one in early 2010, as there is one locally in January. I'll miss it this year. Health to you, HappyDuck.

I would like to run 1500 miles. I have my first race coming up in May--a half marathon. We will see about a marathon after that experience.

I want to log over 1000 miles this coming year. I am also planning to run my first 10 mile race and my first half-marathon. If things go really well, I may try for a full in the fall.

Mileage Goal: At least 2,500 Miles.... but I'd sacrifice the total for week to week consistency. Race Goals: Finish a 50K Finish a 50M 3:30 Marathon 18:00 5K 36:00 10K Health Goals: 165lbs No Smoking or dipping at all. HR of 50 or less Strength Goals: 150 pushups w/o stopping 25 pullups w/o stopping 120 situps in 2 min .... and what kind of a goal is to be injury free? that's kind of implied at all times is it not?

3:30 Marathon 18:00 5K 36:00 10K

Whoa...if you can get either of the latter two goals, a 3:30 marathon should be a walk in the park. A 36-minute 10k is equivalent to a 2:46 marathon, ya know!

Yes thats true... but keeping the same pace for 26 miles that I have for a 5K or a 10K is the trick
