      Goal races only?

      I'm in for Disney on 1/7 and NJ on 4/29.

      But no specific goal for either.

      AceHarris


        Charleston Half, 1/13/2018, Goal: 1:25:00. May adjust if weather is hot.

         

        Knoxville 26.2, 3/25/2018, Goal: We'll see, definitely Sub 3:20:00 for now, will adjust as race gets closer.

        Road Mile: 5:19 (2017), 5k: 17:09 (2021), 10k: 35:54 (2021), HM: 1:21:55 (2020), M: 2:53:18 (2021)

            But no specific goal for either.

             

            All races.  You can have a goal for a race (i.e. "inebriation") without it being a goal race.

                Leprechaun Chase 5K 3/11/17. A Goal: sub 20 and a pint glass. B goal : Pint glass.

                The Biggest Little Half Marathon 4/14/18 A goal: Sub-90. B goal age group award?

                Chicago Marathon 10/7/18 A Goal 3:07 or a guarenteed entry to 4/20/20. B goal: there isn't one. The only goal is to get into 4/20/20.

                Annual Mileage goal: 2,018. PR by about 400 miles.

                Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.
