My goal for 2012 was to run 1200 miles but due to my injuries this year, I know that is not going to happen. I just realized on Wednesday that I am 90 miles short of hitting 1000 for the year so I readjusted my goal. Based on the plan that I am kind of following, I think I will slide in right around 1000 miles! I really want to make it happen so if I can stick with it, I will be happy :)
I am still hoping to run the Surf City Marathon in February if I can stay injury free and feel that it is safe to proceed. I am not sure if I will meet my sub-four goal but I am going to go for it anyway. This weekend I am planning on a 15 miler so we will see how it goes. I think it is safe to go for it since I ran a half marathon last Sunday and felt fine afterward. I have another half marathon coming up on 1/13/13 so the 15 miler will be a good training run for this race.
I have to get going on the race recap for the Holiday Half Marathon but haven't been doing much blogging or reading your blogs. I am behind and need to get caught up. My time has been consumed with funeral arrangements, phone calls, and just keeping a close eye on my Grandma to make sure that she is hanging in there.
What is your goal mileage for 2012? Are you on track to meeting or exceeding your goal?
I can only imagine how difficult these past few weeks have been with your grandpa, and I hope that things get better. You're in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteAlso - crush 1000 miles! You can totally do it :)
Thank You Rachael for all of the positive thoughts. It just has not been a great year.
DeleteGo for that 1,000!!!! You can do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how close I am to my goal - 2013 is creeping up too fast!
Thank you for the motivation Becky! I am going to try my best to do it!
DeleteNothing like some fun pressure to get you where you wanna be :) I'm in a similar boat, so trying to get to my little goal too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to us both!!
Good luck to you Lisa! You had a great year and accomplished some big things! I hope that 2013 is just as good to you.
DeleteI had hoped to hit 1200 this year.....and with 2 weeks left, 1100 is going to happen, but 1200 is out of reach (would have to average 8 miles a day to reach it). Considering that I ran 2 marathons this year, I'm pleased with where I'm at, so I refuse to consider it a "fail".....just another goal to slide into next year!
ReplyDeleteYou are on it Bill! I swear I am going to get to 1200 next year! 1100 miles is an excellent achievement!
DeleteNo goal mileage for me--I haven't kept track at all this year!
ReplyDeleteI love your goal, though. Get 1,000 for your grandpa. Thinking of you, Sandy.
I am certainly going to try to do it for Grandpa!
DeleteYou are so close to 1000 miles. I just know you're going to make it!
ReplyDeleteMy goal for 2012 was 600 miles and I have already passed it! I am super excited about that! I can't wait to make a goal for next year!
