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?

I am...not a runner. Yet. My goal is to walk a 5K by April. Dunno about shorter- or longer-term goals yet. Right now I just want to be able to walk three bloody miles without falling over.

That is a good goal! Have you seen the c25k programs? (They are intended to get you to run a 5k, but you can probably adapt it to walking.)

*Googles* Oh, acronym. Yes I have. Mom and I are planning to employ one such. By which I mean, I am planning to drag Mom into it.
