I didn’t really know where to start when I first sat down to jot some running goals for the year. I mean, my main goal was to lead a healthier life, turn to running rather than drinking at the end of a stressful day and hopefully complete the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler I had impulsively […]

I'll always have Paris...
just got back into running at the beginning of June. I used to set a lot of goals back in the day. First goal was usually distance related and then as the distance became more attainable to keep myself motivated I would tack on speed goals. My brother actually motivated me to get running again as he is relatively new to running but quickly advanced to be able to do a half marathon. I had the honor of running with him as he completed his first half marathon. My only goal was to run with him. As he is about 2 and a half minutes per mile slower than I it was really fun for me to take it easy and relax and just worry about finishing. My goal for the next year is 3-4 half marathons and I will consistently add speed goals, once a speed goal is attained I re-adjust and try to get better.
That’s awesome you got to run with your brother. I’ll decide soon if I add a full marathon to my goals next year (I guess I should see how I do with my goals at the end of this year first!)
