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)

......actually, once I got this Back Problem Whipped (which STILL amazes me)......

..........the other Goals Paled in Comparison...

.....I'm still close to my 168-hour goal,
but don't really care if I hit it or not.......

Either I didn't participate in that thread or I was on page 1. But I'm sure that I met at least two goals:

- Run injury-free (no injuries that stopped me from running)
- Set an HM PR

I'll have to think up some for when we get the 2008 thread going.

Derrick: Congrats on setting such a group of challenging goals and then achieving them.

This is a good reminder, while there is a bit of time left in the year.  OK, how did I do?

2007 Running Goals
1) Be injury free

(Yes!!! Yay!)

2) Run over 1000 miles

( Looks very good, with 969 miles so far, probably will be around 1025 miles).


3) Improve race times over '06 in 5K, 10K, 10 mile, and HM

(good improvement for 5K, HM; not quite for 10K, didn't run 10 miler this year)

4) Run a mile in under seven minutes

(should be able to finish this in the time remaining)

5) Volunteer for at least one race

(uh, had my chances, but didn't get it done, will have to volunteer twice next year)

6) Meet more Cool Running Boomers

(met some, dromedary, among others - certainly regret not being able to meet tet at the Green River Marathon, but it is on the calendar for 08)

Me, too. I don't remember which. I know at this time last year my focus was on training for and running my first marathon, and I did that (ran 2 actually).

I'm not very good at making lists of specific goals. I tend to have a vague idea in my head and sort of drift towards it, in a haphazard and piecemeal way.

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.
