Title: New Year Resolutions and Goals Post by: Adam R Wende on January 01, 2008, 01:41:04 pm Just wanted to start a disucssion of what people are looking forward to accomplishing this year. My mine goal is to try and keep consistant mileage between 60-80 with a few recovery weeks and a few peak weeks. I want to get my legs used to this higher mileage so that I can hope to squeeze into the 90-100 for '09.
Title: Re: New Year Resolutions and Goals Post by: Josse on January 01, 2008, 02:29:59 pm I think the #1 thing I am looking forward to this year is reading the Book of Mormon and studing it in church. I have only read it once and didn't really understand it a whole lot.
As for running I want to PR in every distance and not just PR but blow my old pr's out of the water. I am also excited to see everyone else on the blog do great things in running and get their goals as well. HAPPY 2008! Our life is what we make it:) Title: Re: New Year Resolutions and Goals Post by: Paul Petersen on January 01, 2008, 03:08:42 pm Always a good subject. I'd write something new, but I already wrote it in my personal blog, so I'll just paste the link instead:

1. Break 18:00 in the 5K 2. Break 38:00 in the 10K (not an all-time PR, but certainly post-HS life) 3. Break 1:30 in the 1/2 marathon (should be very doable) 4. Run a Boston Qualifier in the marathon 5. Break 3:00 in the marathon 6. Most importantly, stay injury-free! I am excited to see how these goals pan out this coming year.

There must be a way!
Title: Re: New Year Resolutions and Goals Post by: jtshad on January 03, 2008, 07:52:54 am Here are my running goals for 2008:
Run at least 4 marathons, all under 2:40 and attempt to set a new PR (sub 2:30). Run in at least 5 5K, 10K, 10 mile or half marathons races this year. (Goal: Finish a 10K in under 35 minutes; half in 1:15 or less). Mileage target: 3200 miles Yearly I put together a goals list and track back to it frequently throughout the year. Running/fitness is actually near the bottom, but has been where I have had the greatest success in meeting or exceeding my goals. So, I have to really focus on the higher up items, primarily improving my relationship and time with God, thus improving and maintaining a positive and Christ based relationship with my wife and kids (and all those around me).

I enjoy reading them and gain inspiration for my own (which are currently on the drawing board....).

Doable goals: 1) Place in the top 8 in my division at the St. George Marathon; 2) break 1:27 at Hobblecreek; 3) Run 7 minute miles up city creek canyon and; 4) have more fun than fun in 2008 running.
