I decided it was time to make some running specific goals for the year since that’s pretty much all I talk about anymore. At least with tangible, written down goals I’ll have something to check off as the year goes on. So, without further ado…
2013 Running Goals
- Run a 5k race
- Run 10k/6 miles
- Run 10 miles
- Run a half marathon – preferably a race this year
- Improve my times to consistently run 12:00 min miles or better
One of the goals I already have for next year is to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February. It’s gonna be major.

Of my goals, I completed most of them. I did not run a 5k race, but I consistently ran the distance as a training run throughout the year. I completed 10k/6 miles in my training for the Iron Horse Half Marathon which took place in October 2013. I completed 10 miles and a half marathon, but I wouldn’t say I ran it. Although I do think I ran most of it. But I pretty much blocked it out so it’s all a blur. I did not improve my times to consistently run 12:00 min miles or better, but I did run my fastest mile ever at 10:47.
Great set of goals and good luck! You are planning to do as much in 1 year as what took me about 3 but I’m slow and methodical like that. You’ve got me hooked! I’ll follow your blog and check your progress over the year. Feel free to follow mine as well!
Thanks, Ray! Now we’ll see if they actually happen!
