The Goals

2009, the year of the marathon for me. I want to start off with a quote:

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Les Brown

I have set the lofty goal this year of running a marathon. 26.2 miles is my moon. I have set up my training schedule through October. I have every day mapped out and tomorrow I set out on my first run, a mere 1 mile. You have to start somewhere. On to the goals:

March 2009: 5K PR
Currently my PR is 00:27:28. I want to hit 00:25:00.
May 2009: 5 Mile PR
My current is 00:48:14. I want to hit 00:40:00.
July 2009: Run a 10K
This would be my longest distance race.
September 2009: Run the New Haven Road Race or Philly Distance Race(half marathon)
20K would be the longest distance to date
October 2009: THE MARATHON
First choice is the Marine Corp Marathon, second is the Hartford Marathon

Those are the goals, as we go on I will keep them in full view on the blog and continue to work toward them.
