Since I only just started running in 2009, my goals aren't too high yet. But they seem high to me! For 2010, my goals are: 5K under 25 minutes 10K under 55 minutes First half marathon under 2:20 First marathon under 5 hours Might do a fall half marathon too, hopefully under 2 hours So what are your goals for the New Year?

I hope you do well with the marathon! Hopefully the rain isn't too bad, at least you probably won't overheat. That sounds like so much fun though to do so many marathons, you'll have to make a post to tell us how that goes!

Congrats on finishing! That is awesome that it didn't rain until after you finished. They say for the first one your goal should just be finishing more than having a time goal. I still have a time goal too, but ultimately I'll be pretty happy if I finish. If I can finish before my goal time, even better! My marathon isn't until March. I've got a half marathon in February though, so there should be a post about that one then.

My goal is to be your cheerleader through all these races. This is the closest I will ever get to running.

hi pigglies. haven't really set up any goals with regards to running this 2010. those are great goals you got there. mine would probably to join 2-3 marathons by year end. missed a couple of events during the last part of 2009 because of my work schedule but hopefully i can set sometime for training this year and join a number of events. cheers!!!

That is an excellent goal. For me, I think I'll only be able to do the one marathon this year. The training is definitely long and difficult, but I think it will be worth it to be well trained.
