There's still hope (not much) for goal #1
Qualified for the 1500, 5000, and 10,000 but did not hit the time goals. DNS on the 800
So far so good on that last one - 'nuff said, not superstitious or anything.

1) Run every day 2) Don't hurt myself running every day 3) 3500 miles 4) < 4:00:00 in a very hilly February marathon. This might be a pipedream, But I'm still making it my A-goal.

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)

But.
Big fat ha ha ha (but I do have another mile race before the year is out!)
Yes, but ha ha ha (but I do have another 5K before the year is out!)
Yes, and yes!
I guess? The PR sure happened.
Surprised I didn't say I wanted to run a race at 75% AG ... which I did want, and did do.

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.

I couldn't be happier with my year and it ain't over yet. Squeezing in a marathon and getting my BQ was just icing on the cake.

my BQ.
Bump! I know it's early, but: BQ.

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.

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.
So exercise totals for 2016
Running 1719 miles (281:20:39) (goal was 1500, revised mid year to 1650) Cycling 1009 miles (68:53:58) (goal was 1000) Swimming 7.6 miles
Major Strides Won a 3 hour timed race (For the 3rd year in a row) Moved my 5K PR from 23:21 to 21:57 Moved my HM PR from 1:42:41 to 1:38:20
Longest ride ever of 82.4 miles
I end the year 20 lbs lighter than i started it, and my lipids profile is so much better (HDL especially).
Goals for 2017 Log 1650 running, 1000 cycling miles.
Moving in steps towards a 3:30 marathon (in Spring 2018), the check marks I want to hit are 21 min 5K in the Spring and then a sub 1:35 half in the Fall (probably the Silver Comet half again, that course suits me).
