Well, in running terms I am a newbie. I've been at the consistent running thing for about a year. When I started running I weighed about 270 pounds. I lost 45 pounds in 2009 through running and better eating habits. I went from the couch to running a half marathon. I now have completed 3 half marathons, and I have some big fitness goals for 2010:
1. Run a Half in less than 2:30
2. Duathlon
3. Sprint Triathlon
4. MS150
5. 5k in sub 30:00
6. Race my first 10k
7. Stay Healthy
8. First Full Marathon
9. Represent Brooks Running with enthusiasm
This is the time of year when people do this sort of thing, write your goals down. Your odds go up dramatically when you write down your goals. Don't let another go by before you commit to your goals, fitness or other wise. Time goes by too quickly. What are your goals?
Scott, we must be about the same pace because my goals are somewhat similar. You have a great goal list!
ReplyDeleteIn 2009, I wanted to move from a 2:54 half PR to a 2:30 half. Well, got to 2:32:51, huge improvement. So for 2010, I set that I want to break 2 1/2 in 3 half marathons of my goal "10 halfs in '10"!
Also, I hit 32 minute 5K in 2009, so set goal to break 31 minutes in 2010.

Great job in 2009! Great goals too. I'm looking forward to the updates. Hopefully I'll see you at some races around te DFW area!
