What are your goals for 2012? Put ’em in writing, and you’ll have a club full of runners encouraging you to succeed. Here are a few categories of goals to consider.
Achievement — PRs (personal records), finish a marathon, etc.
Training — Sign up for a training program, add speed work or hills to your training, keep a running log, healthy eating goals, etc.
Participation— Regularly attend one or more of the PGRC weekly workouts (such as the National Harbor morning runs or the Saturday morning Greenbelt Park runs). Participate in a race series (e.g., MDRRCA, Buddy Attick fun runs, or Women’s Distance Festival).
Giving back to the sport/club— Volunteer for races or as a pace coach in a training program, do trail maintenance, learn race timing or race management, etc. And if you get injured and can’t accomplish your training or achievement goals (as happened with me this year), you can still accomplish your volunteer goals 🙂
We hope you will share your personal goals, and then work to achieve them!
And don’t forget to share your 2011 accomplishments.
