Oh I like this thread! Thanks Urbster!
Goals for 2013:
Keep running regularly each week with my oldest daughter (yay!)
Run 3 5Ks during the year (find them first!)
Avoid letting the mental block keep me from persevering
Lifetime:
Like others, to keep running, to cherish family time, to be kind
C25K Training begun (Treadmill) 6/1/10); restarted 7/11/12
First run OUTDOORS - Club Fun Run 1.75 mile circuit time 26:06:72 on 7/29/10

Fell off of the regular running routine, experienced the DC Derecho Disaster, and now aiming to get back on track!
Future:
Jug Bay Run for Wildlife 5K 11/3/12
2013 running goals include:
1. 20 minute 5k (PR is 22:16 currently)
2. 1:40 half marathon (PR is 1:49:09)
3. Complete my first marathon.
4. Run 1000 miles (will end up with about 800 this year).
The 20 minute 5k has been a goal of mine from the start of my running comeback and I think it is doable in 2013 with effort and the right training. While I could have done a marathon already, I didn't want to do it until I felt I was well prepared for it. I think that by fall of next year, I will be.
Good luck with your goals everyone and have a happy new year!

Great thread. It's March 4, 2013 already...
2013 goals:
1. Run Sub-20 minute 5k. I did run an 18 min 30 sec 5k...19 years ago! lol...Actually, just did a tempo run tonight on an indoor track doing 4 miles in 7:53 pace per mile, so I feel this certainly possible by the end
of the year with proper training, discipline, focus, yadda yadda.
2. Stay injury free or at least as least injurous as possible!
3. Start eyeballing 10k's towards the end of the year, do at least one, and slowly increase mileage of my long run from 5-7 miles to 7-10 miles.
4. Don't get mad, get even. 
Lifetime goal?
1. Keep fit and keep working out
2. Eventually run up to half-marathon distance races, keep striving for PR's on 5k, 10k, and half-marathon, or at least put in strong efforts.
3. Would love to be able to run an 18 minute 3 miles again (incidentally a perfect PT score for the US Marines. No, I'm not a Marine).
4. Run a sub-40 min 10k. A 2014 goal???
5. Run 6 min per mile pace for all distances up to half-marathon...5k (18:39), 10k (37:17) half-marathon (1:18:36)....But then again, why stop there??? 
6. Enjoy running more, learning it doesn't have to be struggle and hardship and pain all the time, just some of the time lol
Cheers guys and gals!
