Ok, I'll start I guess. Although my mojo isn't really there now I hope it returns so that I can have a year similar to last year:

1) Stay healthy

2) BQ while running Boston (3:35)

3) Break 3:30 for marathon (stretch goal)

4) 2000 miles for the year (although if I achieve #1, this should follow)

5) Volunteer at least one race

6) Run more with the local running club

1*) Harass Dave mid-month if he has not yet ran 35 miles for the month.

2) Not letting this running become a bigger goal than a happy family

3) To restrain myself to a short/easy workout when I am tired or sore. This should also help with goal #1

4) Enter a Swimming Event or Triathlon, Indoor, or as part of team. Do something I am scared to do.

5) Run a 5K race with my son

6) PR in a half marathon (PR in a 15mile race or marathon counts)

7) PR in a marathon

My goals are almost the opposite of Bugs' (run even when I'm tired, don't let work and family crowd out running ..)

OK seriously folks:

- Sustain not less than 70 miles in any given month this year. No extended breaks.

- Train for and run one marathon

- PR in the HM distance

- More miles than last year

- Avoid running injuries

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

Mine:

Above all, continue to run without injury. Be diligent about cross-training.
Race a marathon for the first time.
Race well at the other distances, making a run at PRs in the half, 10k, and 5k.
Balance the training load by maintaining at all times a weekly mileage base of around 30 miles per week.
Run at least 1500 miles during the calendar year.

I got more specific on the blog but this is the gist of it.
