June 3, 2014
Six months into the new year – I thought this would be a good time to review my 2014 Running Goals through Q2 (my nutrition and fitness goals in review can be found here and here).
Track Weekly Mileage – ONGOING
I’ve been tracking my weekly mileage/workouts each Monday since March. Thanks to all those who commented and gave advice – it has definitely been a great accountability tool.
Follow a Training Plan – ONGOING
I would say this has been more of a quasi effort. I am happy that I trained through the winter, increasing my endurance base. I will officially begin marathon training in 3ish weeks – I look forward to following a plan and sharing my experience with everyone.
Capture/Record Splits – ONGOING
Rockstar status – I’ve been pretty consistent capturing my race splits. It has been a great way to see how I’ve improved over the year and where I need to improve (ex. race strategy for shorter distances or the last 3 miles of a half).
Create A, B, C Race Goals – ONGOING
Check, check and check! This one was low hanging fruit! While I do not always meet my goals, they definitely keep me motivated. I have certainly surprised myself through the year.
#14in2014 – ONGOING
I’ve completed 10/14 races (feel free to read my recaps here). The tally so far: 2 x 5Ks, 1 x 8K, 1 x 14K, 2 x 10M, and 4 x 13.1M. I am signed up for 6 more races this year.
Time Goals
- Sub 2:30 in the half marathon – ONGOING – currently 2:33:32
- Sub 2:00 in the ten miler – COMPLETED – 1:51:46

Did you make any adjustments/changes since January?
