2007, my second full year of running, was very successful for me, in no small part due to what I’ve learned from this forum. Thanks again.

My original goals and update

1.

Continue to stay healthy and injury free.

Done; minor issues a couple of times but I was proactive when they emerged and successfully avoided anything serious.
2.
Run regularly (average 30 miles/wk; about 1,600+ miles).

Done+ I’ll end up over 35 mpw and over 1,800 total, due to ramped up marathon training and #1.
3.
Do modest strength work and stretching regularly.

Done- I did better but there’s plenty of room for improvement.
4.
Maintain my weight below 160.

Done.
5.
Run at least 6 of the 10 local "Grand Prix" races.

Done+ Clean sweep of all 10.
6.
Run a sub-4 marathon.

Done. By over 12 minutes--3:47:39<br />7.<b>PR in at least one other distance. </b><br />Done They were all modest PR’s (two of them by just one second!), but they count.
1 Mile—6:04
5K—21:13
5 mile—36:59
10K—47:02
10 mile—1:21:00
½ marathon—1:42:14

2- Run 2 marathons and 2 half Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? did 3 marathons
3- PR in my next marathon Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? a PR by 36 minutes
4- Loose 20 pounds by my birthday[not there yet] lost 14 pounds and gained muscles.
5- Find a runner wantnabie and serve as a mentor to him/her Re: HAVE YOU MET YOUR RUNNING GOALS FOR THE YEAR? she just ran her first race last weekend.

Thanks to MarkGuy, here's the link to our 2007 Goals[/URL" target="_blank">. However, page 1 is missing. I haven't had a chance to think about goals for 2008 yet.

I met all of mine:

1. Remain injury free. (YES!)
2. 1,000 annual miles. (Almost to 1,100 - YES!)
3. Maintain consistent monthly mileage especially during the winter months. (Yes! a March HM helps this goal)
4. Improve core strength. (Yes! regularly attend yoga & pilates classes)
5. Run more races with DH. (Yes! We ran 3 HMs, 2 10ks, 1 5 mile, 1 5k together)
6. Run 2 half marathons. (Yes! I ran 4: Shamrock in VaBeach, Deadwood-Mickelson Trail, Billings, Bizz Johnson in CA)
