last year's accomplishments, next year's goals

A year ago I posted:

Since December's about over, I figured it would be a good time to think about/imagine/dream/plan goals for 2011.

Any running-related goal is valid, whether it's to run a 100-mile ultramarathon or to run 2 miles in a row. It can be to complete a distance, or race a distance, or attain a speed, or run a certain number of miles per week, month, or year. No judging anyone else on their speed or their slowness. These are all personal goals, relative to where we are now and where we want to be.

Feel free to put your goals in comments, or to post them in your own journal and link them here. This is mostly a placeholder and reminder so you can come back in a year and see how well you succeeded!

So, how did you do? Did you achieve your goals? Did events conspire to prevent you? Did you completely punt on them? What have you learned about yourself and about running through your successes and failures?

What are your goals for next year?

Let's see. This will be my first year writing down any goals, as I started running for the very first time halfway through 2011.

Running-Related Goals for 2012
1) Stay uninjured (including figuring out how to prevent running-induced migraine).
2) Improve my regular 5k pace to the equivalent of just under 10 min/mi.
3) Run at least 3 actual races of at least 5k in length as a registered participant.

Small goals comparatively, but good ones for me!

Yay! Hopefully these goals will be the first of many!

I get migraines, but thankfully I have only got one while running once. My only suggestions would be to stay hydrated, and possibly drink coffee or tea if caffeine helps you and isn't a trigger.
