Goals for 2007, time to reflect

gin79 · Dec 11, 2007

In 2006 I PR'd at every distance. I knew in 2007 I probably wouldn't do that again, but wanted to PR at least a few times. I did PR in the half marathon and PR'd at a couple races that I'd run before. 
I also wanted to try a few new races and ran about 5 new ones. 
I ran a total of 15 races, including 2 marathons, 4 half marathons, a 20k and lots of shorter distances. 
I increased my overall mileage and am very happy with my 2007 running!

It was the only one I could find that was the right size <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

Taken from my running log: 
Goals for 2007 were:
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>No injuries</li>
<li>1500 miles/at least 100 miles every month</li>
<li>Sub 25 minute 5K</li>
<li>Sub 2 hr ½</li>
<li>Sub 4:40 marathon</li>
<li>50K Trail ultra</li>
<li>Hood to Coast</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>1: Ha.... that lasted until mid March when I was sidelined for about 3 weeks by bursitis in my right ankle. A recurrence of the same happened 2 weeks ago. 2: 1491 as of now with 9 months of at least 100. 3: Poor goal, lost weight and had a 23:01 5K on a hilly course 4: Another poor goal, lost weight and went from 2:01 to 1:48... go figure 5: 3rd poor goal, 4:26 at Boulder, done as a high altitude training run. 6: Mt Hood PCT 50K in late July, 7 hours. 7: Running related highlight of the year, got to sub on team "Stop Whining Crybabies" and ride around in a van with the likes of Soundie, SS, mcsolar, and others, occasionally going for a run, sometimes in the middle of the night. The team missed the magic 24 hours by only 15 minutes or so, good enough for around 25th out of 125 or so in our class.

I'm pretty sure I had only 2 goals - remain uninjured and PR for marathon. 
I didn't achieve 1 - ended up with YASF training for Boston and ended up out of running until this fall - but I did get a marathon PR (2:41:5<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Cool"> at Philly this year - and at 47, that's good for me - I'll focus on sub 2:40 for 2008 - althogh I'd take no more stress fractures...
