Goals Up the Wazoo...

I have 2 races coming up in the couple of weeks (Terrapin 5K on 7/23/2009 and Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon on 8/2/2009). Time for some good old-fashioned goal setting.

Goals for Terrapin 5K:
1. To finish
2. To maintain a consistent pace throughout
3. To not really race so much as consider this a training run (i.e. no sprinting at the end and no picking people off!)
4. To break 30:00

Goals for Rock n Roll Chicago Half Marathon:
1. To finish
2. To take water and/or Gatorade at each aid station
3. To run negative splits
4. To run a pretty consistent pace throughout
5. Start out slow!!!!
6. To get a PR
7. To break 2 hours (my long-term goal... not really sure if it will be met, but might as well put it on the list anyway)
