last year's accomplishments, next year's goals

[ilanarama]

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?

Sistah! Good luck with the injury free part. Yeah, me too.

I will say (in case you haven't been following along at home) that it seemed to take me the same amount of time to get back that I was down with the injury. So hopefully if you stay with it and stay healthy you will surpass your former level!

I am seeing rapid-ish improvements in the speed department. I ran an 8K in November and another one last week and knocked more than a minute per mile off my time. Still painfully slow, but I'm definitely improving quickly. I think this would all go much better if I could just turn off the bit of my brain that is doing constant comparisons to where I was before I broke my foot.
