I clocked 1500 miles in 2011, completed a 1/2, full, and a 10K. This year I hope to do the same and more. I also hope to travel to do a major race. What is your goal?

For 2012 I want to complete 1000 miles, and improve my Half time. I did my first this past Oct, and am currently signed up for 3 more, the first one in Feb! Thinking of doing a full, and will enter the lotto for NY, so if I get in then heck yes I'll be doing it!0

My major goal is to run my first marathon on 28th april. i'll be happy just to finish, but am secretly aiming for finishing under 6 hours (i'm a plodder!). so, i guess my goal is to train diligently for the next 4 months to make this happen.
I have my 3rd half on 26th feb, and i want to get it in under 2hrs 40- my current times are 2h44, and 2h50. so i'm keen to improve.
and i'm also thinking of running the auckland marathon next october..... maybe! i'll get this one out of the way first and see how i feel. i have found the half challenging enough and sometimes worry that the full may not quite be my cup of tea. but i'll definately run the auckland half.
my other goal is just to keep running. i find i always need to be training for something, otherwise i just seem to roll to a halt as life takes over. so i need to maintain focus and just keep on keeping on.0 -
This year I have run 866 miles, and I guess my goal for this year would be to just keep running, and try to beat that. If I could get 1000 miles for the year i would be pretty happy.0

I have a couple this year - 1st is to get my half marathon time under 2:30 (which is about 2 minutes a mile faster than my last time) by the Indianapolis Mini Marathon in May. 2nd goal is to run a full marathon - I'm eyeing early November for that one!0

Stay healthy and injury free while training for my next marathon. Then maintain a marathon distance run to run more in the coming years.0

I ran a marathon in 2007 then my motivation went down hill. Last year I ran the prickly pear 10mile. I now want to complete the 50K. That will probably not happen this year but I am going to do a couple of 1/2 marathons this year and train for next year.0

I plan to run 1000 miles this year.
Last year I ran 542, but most of that was in the last 6 months, so I figure with marathon training, as long as I keep up my current opace, I should be able to meet it.
I'm also going to run my first marathon and at least 2 more half marathons.0 -
1. Run my first half marathon. (Goal is to finish but I'm hoping for under 2:20)
2. Sub 28:30 in my 5K
3. Sub 58:00 in my 10K
4. Compete in the Arkansas Triathlon Series (minimum of 4 tri's/duathlons to be "in" the series)0 -
Run my first marathon on April 28!! Run 1000 miles in 2012. Complete my first triathlon. Run a 10k I'm under an hour (achieved on resolution 10k yesterday)!!!
I also hope to participate in a race every month in 2012!0 -
My running goals for 2012 are: Complete my 2nd full marathon (5/6/12) faster than my 1st one that I ran in May 2011. Take 10 minutes off my Akron half time (sept 2012) and run 4 half marathons (most I've ever run in one year is two).
**** I'm new to this group but not new to running. I'm looking for more support and to give it too. We runners are a unique, awesome group!!! Let's do this!!0 -
First half marathon in April. No time goal, just finish strong. Then I'd like to train for the Disney marathon next year so that should take up the rest of 2012. :happy:0

To keep running, but to get faster.
