2010 Goals

This year, instead of just setting short term reasonable goals as I go, I'm going to set some ambitious, year-long goals. Most of these goals will require me to get substantially faster, but I've got a year to get there, right?
I've arranged the list in order of AG difficulty, so it should be that the toughest goals are last. You may notice though, that the list is also in descending distance order. This reflects my tendency toward better performance in short races. The idea is that for me, these goals are more or less equally difficult -- with the exception of the first goal, of course.
  1. Re-qualify in Boston (3:30:59) - AG: 65.51
  2. 3:20 Marathon (7:38 pace) - AG: 68.77 %
  3. Half Marathon at sub 7 minute pace. (1.31) - AG: 72.67 %
  4. Sub 40 minute 10K. (6:27 pace) - AG: 76.16 %
  5. Sub 19 minute 5K (6:07 pace) - AG: 77.07 %
In the mean time, there will be plenty of short term goals, but this list gives me something to look back at when year's end comes.
Until then, May the road rise to meet you...

Nice goals. They are similar to mine in terms of decreasing distance, increasing difficulty...have fun with them this year!
