My goals are to run 3x per week consistantly and to run my first HM (looking at March).

1. at least 1,000 miles
2. 2 marathons
3. include weight training
4. learn to swim, so that I could do a tri in 2008

Thanks ljwoodw, and good luck to you too in your marathons and Boston! 100mpw is a lot of dedication, and 2:28 is so impressive!

I will consider 2007 a COMPLETE success if I:

(1) establish a base of 60-80 mpw in Jan-Feb and run at least ONE 100 mile week in the year.

(2) incorporate REGULAR hill workouts into my schedule

(3) run the 3000m in 9:30 and mile in 4:45 @ the national masters indoor meet in March

(4) break through the 17:15-17:20 5k plateu I languished in this past fall and move into the 16:45 5k range in the spring and then sub-16:30 range in the fall

(5) run a sub-28 minute 5 miler in the Run to Remember in Boston in May

(6) qualify for the 1 mile and 800m finals in the Bay State Games in June by running a 4:45/2:10 or better

(7) start to compete at longer races, and enter at least two to three 5 milers in the spring and one to two 10Ks in the fall.

(8) successfully defend every road race I won in 2006

(9) re-run and WIN those races I finished 2nd-5th in 2006

Good luck to everyone on their goals for the year.

1. Run Boston Sub 3:00.00
2. Finish 2 other marathons.
3. Sub 18:00 5k
4. Sub 1:25:00 Half
5. Sub 30:00 8k
Life time goal: Break the tape at any race.

1) Race well in several mountainous 50 milers.
2) Place well at Where's Waldo 100K
3) Top 10 in Oregon Trail Ultra series points (follows from #2)
4) Javelina Jundred sub-24
5) 5 BQ's

1st do the ocean plunge on new years day after the hangover classic 10K in Salisbury.

Then Hyannis marathon in February around 3:30 hopefully...under 3:10 (Boston Qualifying) I'd be ecstatic. (my 1st marathon)
a 50 miler in July (probably Fingerlakes)
and not get injured in the process.

Then I'll shoot for a sub- 30 minute 8K during XC season which should be more than do able.

"We train to rebel against what people expect of us: we get sick of people doubting us and set out to prove everyone wrong. Some runners rebel against the expectation that they will not commit and run consistently. Some rebel against the expectation that they will drop off of the pace on a distance run. All set out to surprise people and disregard what people expect of them."- Sir Roger Bannister
