Running goals for 2012


Just because I need it in writing to hold myself accountable I thought I'd better post some goals.

Last year I logged 193.61 miles into my Nike+ app. I know I actually ran more than that since I don't always use the app while I am on the treadmill. I am going to guess that I actually logged about 250 miles in 2011.

I'm going to go for a 20% increase for 2012 which, if I did the math correct, puts me at a goal of 300 miles.

Another goal for 2012 is to run a half marathon. That is 13.1 miles. That is an overwhelming thought for me during these cold winter months but I think it's doable come spring or summer.

Finally, to overcome my "it's to cold outside to run outside" attitude my last running goal is to not let more than 7 days go by without getting a minimum of a 30 minute run in outside.

Feel free to hold me accountable these, please.

What are your goals for 2012 running or other?

You're smart to put your goals in writing - it does make you more accountable!
I have to think about it as far as specifics, but the biggest thing is to keep losing weight and exercising - getting healthy!

Awesome goals! I know you can do it!

For me, of course one goal is to run a half marathon (praying for no more injuries!). The other is to be more mindful about what I'm eating...ask myself if I'm really hungry or just craving. And to eat more balanced, 90/10 instead of 60/40 which I'm probably at now :)

Sounds like great goals Jennifer! I know you'll accomplish them!!! It has been crossing my mind to try a 10k this year. I don't know if I'll do an official one (chicken), but I'm going to try to get to (what is it?) 6.2 miles? You may hold me to that if you like.

Also I'm giving up pop!! YIKES!!!!
