- Run 1,000 miles. - FAIL. I was on track for a couple of months, but I've fallen behind now. I ended June with 401.7 miles for the year. That means I'll have to average 100-mile months for the remainder of the year. Doable? Probably. Will I make the effort? Probably not. (Just being honest here...)
- Run a sub 2:10 half-marathon. - FAIL. I was sure I would nail this one at the Shamrock Half in March, but I bonked and ended up running a 2:13:20. Next opportunity will be in October.
- Run a sub-27 5K. - BOTH? But mostly fail. I "officially" ran a 26:31 in February, but the course was short and I don't count it. It wouldn't have been under 27 anyway. And that's the only 5K I ran this year. My 5K split from a 4-mile race in April was 27:11, still 11 seconds short of the goal. So success for the official record, fail because I personally don't count it. Maybe this fall...
- Run a sub-60 10K - Neither. I haven't run a 10K this year. I was sick the day of the race I planned on running to meet this goal. Since that's the only one I know of in this area, I may not get another chance at this one this year.
- Cross and strength train more. - SUCCESS! I've made use of my spin bike and D's Bowflex and have done some core work. Even though I'm calling it a success, I still want to up my game in this area the latter part of the year. Especially going into marathon training.
So overall not a horrible year. You win some, you lose some! And I've still got six months to make progress in the areas I'm currently not succeeding in!
