I'm game.

Finish my first half ironman
Finish my first ironman
PR the 5K, 10K, HM
Mileage goal for the year is a meager (to me) 2000 miles, as cycling will take up a large chunk of time

As things currently stand, I do not see how or where I'll be able to fit a marathon into my schedule.

If all I manage to do in 2016 is not break anything or get hurt, I'll be thrilled. (I'm sure my insurance company will be thrilled too if I make it through one freaking year without multiple MRI scans.)

But.

Mile PR (ideally sub-6)
5K PR (ideally sub-21)
HM PR (ideally sub-1:35, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA)
NYCM uninjured -- finish time irrelevant (though a PR would be nice)

chasing the impossible

because i never shut up ... i blog

Can't comment on the 100 miler, but I once ran 17:44 for 5K, 1:25:04 for HM, and 2:56:38 for a marathon in the span of 7 weeks, so it can be done.

2024 Races:

03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles

05/11 - D3 50K
05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour

06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.

The goal for the 100 miler is just to finish. LOL

My current PRs are 18:32, 1:26:52 and 3:04:03, so they seem like reasonable goals. Especially if I can maintain my strength/speed while dropping back down into the 170s. I'm faster right now at 195lbs than I was at 175.

GET MY DAMN PHD ALREADY. Set to be released from the dungeon of the Ivory Tower on January 15!
Half marathon <1:42
... And if that half is significantly sub-1:42, aim for a fall marathon BQ
And run a fast 5K, and race a 10K sometime so I can fix that way-out-of-line PR in my signature
2016 miles

2016 was to be the year of a half ironman tri, but already the budget for that isn't happening. So pushing that to 2017 or 2018.

Spring 5K PR

Fall Peachtree Wave A time in the HM (PR would be nice, but Wave A is what I am going for - 1:45:47)

Lose 15lbs - That is going to be the hardest one of all.

5K 20:23 (Vdot 48.7) 9/9/17

10K 44:06 (Vdot 46.3) 3/11/17

HM 1:33:48 (Vdot 48.6) 11/11/17

FM 4:13:43 (Vdot 35.4) 3/4/18
