Long-term goals 2010

[yvi]

Heya, 2010 is about one third done now and I am wondering what your goals for this year are when it comes to running - if you have any. Any particular distance or a race you want to be able to do? Maybe a half or full marathon? The first 5K? Running in some country you are traveling to?

I was actually thinking about this while on the treadmill today, and for some reason, it's been hard for me to pin down my longterm goals. It's not because I don't have them; I think it's actually more that I'm about to move to Boston, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to join a gym right away...and I really prefer running indoors, whether it be on a track or treadmill. My fitness level has also decreased somewhat in the past few months for various reasons, and I'm very focused on getting back to where I was in February.

With that said, some of my less number based goals involve doing more running outside and learning to pace myself better when doing so.

I'd like to be running 5K within the next few weeks, and then I'd like to focus on both speeding that up to under half an hour and then slowly pushing to 10K.

Knee problems permitting, I'd like to be able to run a half marathon. at some point in the future, but I'd rather set a more concrete goal when I'm settled in Boston.
