December check-in

[ilanarama]

Hey! How did it get to be December already?

How goes your running? And, since 2013 is coming up: did you meet your 2012 goals, if you had any? Do you have any 2013 running goals?

ETA: for those of you who need something to jog your memory, last year's goals thread is here!

I didn't have any running goals at the beginning of 2012. But during the year I ran my first three 5K races, and in early fall I gradually built up to running 20 miles a week. I'm very happy with those accomplishments.

And then my running fell apart when I got bronchitis. I had to miss what would have been my first 8K and 10K races, and I ran very little for the last two months. I'm over the bronchitis, but then it got cold, and I had oral surgery, and other excuses.

So my first goal is to run regularly again: I have set a start date of December 20th, for various reasons.

Goals for 2013:
- Run a couple of 10K races (I'm registered for one in May.)
- Improve my 5K time (get below 30:00?)
- Run a few trail races
- If all goes well, maybe a half marathon in the fall? Or plan for a half in spring 2014?

We will all encourage you in your goal to run regularly! And I think having some races already planned will help you do it.
