My goals

I have been thinking for a long time about my goals. While I have written about some of my goals before, I have mainly been running for a couple of reasons. The main reason is for general health. My most recent attainable goal was to run in the Stonewall Jackson 20 Miler this fall. But recently I have figured out all of my goals. There are quite a few. I believe that I can attain each one.

First, as a high school student I ran track for one year, I was a distance runner, I ran the mile and the 2 mile. My best time in the mile was 5:32. I think now, nearly 20 years after high school, I have both the discipline and the desire to beat that time. Granted speed work is not something that I am interested in but I think that I will get that one.

Second, I want to as I have said run in the Stonewall Jackson 20 miler, for reasons previously alluded to in earlier posts.

Third, during high school I was a Cross Country runner. Again, I have never been fast and I don't even remember what my time was in high school. So right now my goal is 24 min for a 5K.

Fourth, I would like to say one time that I finished a marathon. So I will sign up for the Richmond Marathon and run in it.

Last, I have a super secret goal but I am keeping that one under my hat for the time being. Only because I want to see if I get 2 and 4 this year.

I will update as each one gets either closer or is completed.
