Goals 2010 - Review

I was going gung ho on my goals when I got injured. I completely stopped thinking about them once I wasn't running. So let's take a look and see how I did.

• Improve 5K/10K time - This is a throughout the year thing, not an overall PR. I improved my 5K for the year 3 times and 10 K once.

• Run in some new races- MET THIS ONE BIGTIME AND HAD A BLAST DOING IT Half at the Hamptons, (Photo to the left) Middlebury Maple Run (also a half marathon), Champlain Classic 15K - a new distance, Sunshine Run, Capital City Stampede, Run for Roses (won Mother/Daughter division),Summer Round Up Trail 12K, Silks and Satins, Dare 5K

• Run in a marathon and PR - Injured - DNS

• Race in a new state - Maryland and Colorado (photo to left taken by K at Happy Trails!)

• Get name in Burlington Free Press or New England Runner -Spring Fling - BFP

• Race with family members- First Run - husband, Vermont City Marathon - both kids, Run for Roses - EMily, Stowe 8 Miler - EMily

(Run for Roses in Maryland - I'm in pink shirt and white cap. Emily is ahead somewhere helping us

win our division!)

• Place in age group- 2/5 Polar Cap, 1/2 Spring Fling, 3/22 Sunshine Run, 3/29 Run for Roses

• Keep a race blog - Oh yes. This was going to be just a race blog but I have more to blog about than I thought I did. And thanks for reading and especially for commenting!

• PR in a half marathon- No I did not! But I entered 3 and do love the distance!

• Have one overall PR at any distance for the year - only in new distance - the 15K and 12K so I will call this half met.

• Be in top half of field - This happened 6 times.

• Race once a month at least - This was totally happening until my injury.

• Race in 22 races overall - Same as above. Maybe this is why I got injured??? I do love to race.
• Pick up my speed while training - I would say no for most of the time.

So that is it. Now I need to think about my new goals. Happy running for the rest of 2010!
