I want reduce my 5km time to below 30 minutes and I would like to run a Half-Marathon this year still. I am at 32m for the 5km - and up to 8km a run on my half training - so I am hoping to be 'up to speed' by 13 October when my half is targetted for.
Happy to report that this past week included a 10.2km run!
I want to keep Saturday's for the 5km park run - and hope to do the 'long runs' on Tuesdays (as I did this week.) Target long run next week is 11.5-12km.

I still can't "run" yet. I walk briskly for at least 3 Miles a day and run as much as I can! My goal is to be able to run my first 5k this year!0

My goal is 30 miles. I started yesterday and have 27 miles left till the end of the month. We got this.0

I'm a newbie! My current goal is to run 10 miles a week. Slowly working on averaging a 10 min. mile on a 3 mile run (5K). Right now I'm averaging about 11.28-11.5 per mile. So far I've only ran 7 miles this month. Had to sit out last week because of blisters on my right toe (ouch!!!).0

I've been a runner for less than 3 months. My first thought was that my main goal is to finish the Monster Dash HM on Halloween, but that's really not it...
I had to think about it a bit, but I think I've figured it out. My goal is to run until I'm dead. Not continuously until then, obviously, but be able to run nearly every day for the rest of my life. The races and PR's between now and then will be fun and exciting, no doubt, but really, I just want to keep doing this as long as possible.
At a recent 10K I ran, there was an 89 year old man (a World War II vet) who finished. He was quite an inspiration. To be able to run a 10K at the age of 89, to me, would be a much greater accomplishment than finishing a HM this fall at the age of 48, or a full the next year.
Yep, I want be tying up my Glycerin 54's when I'm 89, getting ready for another race, whatever the distance may be, at what ever pace it may be.
ETA: It appears I had already answered the question earlier. My latest response supersedes my earlier one.

@MindyG150 MFP won't do that. You have to keep your weight ticker. You can however manually post your running ticker into any of your forum posts.

I don't have a particular race picked out yet, but I've put it into my head that I want to run a 5k race at least once in my life. I don't want to win, just to survive and not come in last. I'm not anywhere near being able to run an untimed 5k yet, so I'd better get some more practice

My goal is to run 5k race, "Zoo Run Run", on 9/27. I ran it with what was amazing time for me three years ago--first time 5k was 24:29. It's not gonna happen this time. I'd like it to be under 30 minutes though.0

Happy to see i am not the only beginning runner here! I do consider myself a runner even though I do mostly run/walks.
So running goal: Being able to run 10K at all.
Right now I am mostly walking with around 5k 3 times a week on hills (lots of killer hills where I live), I'll usually do run (where it's flat)/walk(uphill). Stationary bike as cross-training 2 to 3 times a week + just started strength training. I am already able to run for 40 mins but I don't check the distance. I'll soon switch to mostly running and build up from there to 10K

Good luck! That's a great goal....0 -
I have done 6 5K's in 2015 but I have yet to run an entire 5K. I am signing up for a running clinic - starting February 2016, so let's hope this pseudo winter continues on into 2016 for us in SW Ontario - with the goal to run an entire 5K without any walk breaks, and progress into the 10K running clinic for summer 2016. Some big goals I know, but I need to push myself otherwise I really will give up.
That's what I love about running - there's always a way to better yourself and another goal to reach for. It's a long way to a place where you can't progress any further . . . if you ever even get there at all. Great goals everyone! I love reading these and knowing there's runners who are at a much more elite level than I am, and that there are those out there on the same level as me. I love the running community and how we are all so welcoming . . . all the time.0 -
I've achieved most of my 2015 running goals; the one that's still pending is to make it through the year without injury, as defined by being able to run at least 20 minutes, at least 3 times per week. I expect to achieve this.
2015 was wildly successful for me. My top goal was to remain uninjured. My next goal at the beginning of 2015 was to run the Four Seasons Challenge, a local series of 4 half marathons in January, April, July, and September, while building a base toward an eventual full marathon, probably Rochester in September 2016. I did run those 4 halfs, plus another one on November 1; but my pace group kind of shoved me into doing the Buffalo Marathon in May 2015 and now I think of myself as a marathon runner. In that November 1 half I achieved a goal that I hadn't formally stated in advance, to run a half marathon under 1:30. It was net downhill, and I won't be surprised if that PR stands for quite a while, possibly the rest of my life.
Goals for 2016 are still somewhat in flux. The top 2 are pretty solid, but priorities below that are subject to change:
1. Remain uninjured, as measured by the ability to run at least 20 minutes, at least 3 times per week.
2. Run the Boston Marathon on April 18, 2016. Stretch target is 3:15, but I'd be content matching my Buffalo time of 3:21.
3. Run the 2016 Four Seasons Challenge with the new 3+1 option (3 half marathons in January, April, and July plus the full Rochester Marathon in September.) Be content with running Flower City slow in April, as I expect to have post-Boston legs at that point.
4. Be competitive in my new age group (60-64) in the Rochester Runner of the Year series.
5. Compete for the Genesee Valley Harriers in some USATF Niagara Region championships and national championships, races TBD. (There will be some people upset with me if I don't do this one. I may be under pressure to do more traveling than I really want to. Club Nationals in December may be a scheduling challenge.)
6. Learn to run Cross Country (related to #5).0
