I didn’t set any running goals for 2011. If I did, I promptly forgot or ignored them.
But I did track the miles I spent running/walking/hiking for exercise. It’s not particularly impressive. I logged 598.23 so far (see the graph). I definitely intend to crack the 600-mile barrier before the year ends. Having that data gives me a starting place for 2012. So, here are the running resolutions I’ve come up with so far.
1. Run/walk/hike more miles in 2012 than I logged in 2011.
2. Complete my neighborhood loop run in 28:30 or less. No, I’m not telling you how long the loop is.
3. Race enough Grand Prix runs to contend for a 2012 title unless I have a REALLY GOOD reason (i.e. exotic world travel or a broken leg).
4. Donate my old running shoes to charity.
5. Complete the Pier to Peak route — not necessarily on race day, and not necessarily in that direction.
6. Run in another trail race.
What are your running resolutions? Will I see you at the Resolution Run on Jan. 1?
Woop Woop on the Resolution List, I am working on mine. I will be there with the grandchildren I will run both 10K and 5K and the grandchildren will run the 5K. Happy New Year!
