2010 Running Goals

I decided to set some running goals for this year.  They are pretty simple, but it will take some work to pull them all off.  Here is the plan:

1. 5k - My current PR is 24:55 set in Ashley’s Run last year.  I plan to return to that race and run it again this year on March 20th.  However, it is the day before the half marathon I am planning to run so I may need to take it easy.
2. 10k - I plan to run the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th again this year.  I would like to set a PR here as well and attempt to qualify for running group 1A for the 2011 Peachtree.
3. Half Marathon - I attempted to run the ING Atlanta Marathon last year and did not make it all the way through the training.  This year I will attempt to run the half at this event.  I have updated the training schedule under “Static Pages” on my blog. Goal is under 2 hours.
4. Marathon - I am planning to run New York or Chicago this fall.  I will enter the lottery for the New York Marathon and if I get in will run that.  If I don’t get in on the lottery I will sign up for the Chicago Marathon instead.  Goal is under 4 hours.

It is not as many races as I would normally do but it covers all of the common distances.  I’ll try to keep everyone posted on my progress throughout the year.
