With a five-miler this morning, my 2013 running calendar is done. This marked the first year since I’ve taken up running that I set some pretty ambitious goals for myself. You might have followed my Twitter feed<\/a> as I chronicled my yearly mileage with the hashtag #RunResolution. However, that was not the only goal that I set for myself in 2013. Here’s a look at my 2013 running goals.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I will run at least 1,000 miles this year.<\/strong> I did it! According to my log, I finished with 1,117.31 miles.<\/li>\n
  2. I will set PRs in the 5K (22:03 as of 12\/31\/12), 10K (51:12.8), and half-marathon (1:51:26).<\/strong> I only tied my 5K time, with another 22:03 on September 21 at the Duck and Run 5K in Athens. I did, however, set new PRs in the 10K (46:57 at the A Christmas Story 10K in Cleveland on December 7), and half (1:43:46 at the Team 413 Half Marathon in Homewood on April 13).<\/li>\n
  3. If I can successfully register, I will run the Marine Corps Marathon on October 27, 2013, in addition to at least two half-marathons, including Mercedes in February.<\/strong> I didn’t manage to get in due to website problems that could only be rivaled by the government healthcare site, so Marine Corps will have to wait for another year.<\/li>\n
  4. If I cannot successfully register for the Marine Corps Marathon, I will run at least three half-marathons this year, including Mercedes in February and Talladega in September.<\/strong> Talladega didn’t fit into my schedule, but I did run three half-marathons as planned: Mercedes in February, Team 413 in April, and the Huntsville Half Marathon in November.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other interesting (well, to me, anyway) facts about this year:<\/p>\n

        I don’t know what my 2014 goals are yet. I’ll have to give that a little thought. Once I figure them out, though, I’ll post them so that you can follow along again as I run through 2014!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
