I have no idea what my running goals for 2013 ought to be, as the whole having-a-baby-at-the-beginning-of-summer thing is going to throw a wrench in any plans I make. During my first year of running I got in around 500 miles for the year. This year I'm going to get in something like 875. So far running is still going well because I'm carrying pretty high, but I have no idea how long my body will cooperate and I don't want to make any goals about how many weeks into my pregnancy I'll continue to run, because it's really not something I can control.I also have no idea how long I will need to take off after giving birth. I wasn't a runner when I had Ela and didn't get into running until she was a year old, so I have no frame of reference.
I feel like I SHOULD make some goals, though, because I'm a very goal-oriented person but also tend to give in easily to "excuses" for being lazy and eating poorly when I don't have a plan and accountability. So this is what I've got so far:
*Complete the LA 13.1 on January 13th, 2013 with little or no walking. I'm hoping to finish somewhere between 2:30 and 2:40, but lately I've been needing to take lots of pit-stops on my runs, so who knows about that.
*Continue running for as long as my body cooperates and when running becomes too taxing switch to run/walking and maybe eventually just walking. I should be able to get in walks of a few miles at a time, right up until I deliver.
*Assuming that labor and delivery go as expected, get back into running as soon as the doctor gives me the green light. I think I'll start the walking back up as early as a week or two after the birth, hopefully running as soon as 4-6 weeks after.
*Complete my first post-partum race at the Santa Monica 5000 in October 2013. Not sure if I'll do the 5k or 10k, we'll see.
Everything else is just too up in the air to pin down yet. :/
Running for two!

Oh boy,i have a lofty but i think obtainable list.
I want to run 1400 miles for the year, run at least one sub 19 minute 5k with most being under 19:30. I want to run a half in under 1:30 and run a full in under 3:30, but really in under 3:20.
I want to have my wife run under a 24:30 also.
2017 goals:
sub 1:30 half
