to eat a lot an gain about 5 pounds.

Already ran:

Trolley Run in KCMO, 4 miles @ 7:15 minute mile
Papillion Half in Papillion, NE @ 8:57 minute mile - very TOUGH course the last 5.5 miles were uphill

Goals:

Plaza 10K in KCMO, hope to run 7:45 minute mile
Looking for an EASY half to run in Sept. or Oct., hope to run under 8:15 minute mile - someone let me know of some easy runs

First 100 mile trail race (done)
Sub-20 5k (done on a training run, but not official... Yet!)
Sub-9 hour 50m
Drop 5-6 hours from my 100m time

Last week, completed one of my goals of finishing a half marathon.

Really hit the wall the last couple of miles so right now my next goal is to train for another half in October (12 weeks away) and improve on my overall time and have something left in the tank for an good finishing push at the end of the race.

After I've had such a crappy year... I'd like to finish my races that I've signed up for.

So far this year, I have completed three half marathons, I have sprained an ankle, had a flair up of ITBFS, Shin splints and may have a stress fracture in my fibula. This after running 1200 miles , a full and 8 half marathons last year incident free.

30Km at the Winnipeg 10 and 10
Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Service Half Marathon.

And then I think I will take an offseason and cross train. Allow my legs to fully recover.

My goals are modest:

Do a sub 40 minute 5K.

I'm almost middle aged, still obese and run slower than a sloth on valium so any increase in speed is huge for me (best time currently is 41:23). I plan to slowly increase my mileage and introduce speed work/intervals - cautiously, because the last thing I want is an injury.

Looks like I won't make my goal this year. Did a 10K in August and ever since my right foot has been sore. Got close, though - 40:17. Would like to change my goal to completing 50 parkruns. Am almost there, have done 42 so far (the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything).

Good Luck

Guess I forgot to post in here oops 2014 Goal...

Run at least 1 race every month, so far so good, I have the Green Stride 1/2 marathon coming up for my October race and I have already signed up for a 5k in November and December

Hello Everyone,

Incase people don't know, this is actually rduhlir...I took a break from MFP, regrouped, and came back with a new account..... Lots to update on.....

**Update**
1. Complete 5 HM....I will be completing 4 half marathons this year, my final one being next weekend.
2. Get base miles up to 30 MPW...steady....Pretty much done, currently in reverse taper right now though, lol
3. Sub 02:15 HM time (current PR is 02:26:59).....Won't be happening this year, as focus shifted to completing my first full, rather than a PR for a Half.
4. Sub 30 minute 5K (current PR is 31:51).............Done
5. 1000 miles run/walked this year...Done
6. Finish my first full....Done! St. Jude Memphis Marathon Dec 6, 2014! Time: 5:29:41, $1,099 raised in fundraising.

Sorry that I kind of just dropped without a word. Had a lot going on and just needed to reorganize.

For 2015 I would like to run sub 30mins 5k, sub 60mins 10k and I will be running my first half marathon in October and want it sun 2hrs 20mins xx

Hi, I am new here! I started running about a month ago and did about 53 miles in March doing c25k. I am preparing to 10 in June (and planning to run 5k in May with my colleagues). Maybe I'll do a HM in September, we'll see. Anyway, I want to try to do 500 mi in 2015! Also, my plans are to do two 5k's, two 10k's, one 8mi, and maybe a half this season!

March 2015 - 53 miles
April 2015 - 62 miles

Total for 2015 - 115 miles
