2011 – 526.3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe goal I had set for 2012 was 600 miles, a number I had never hit before. \u00a0Marathon training clearly helped me out here, as I had some incredibly high mileage months (for me, anyway) at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
But now to set my 2013 goal. \u00a0I’m not planning to run the WDW Marathon in 2014, though that may change. \u00a0It all kind of depends on how this year goes and how my finances go. \u00a0Stupid money. \u00a0But that means that 2013 probably won’t require as many miles as 2012.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I’m adding triathlons to my list of crazy things I do in my free time, which means more cycling and swimming workouts and likely less time for running workouts.<\/p>\n
I considered aiming for 700 miles. \u00a0But that’s not a practical goal. \u00a0Then I thought about 600. \u00a050 miles a month seems reasonable. \u00a0Especially since I hope to keep my long runs up around 10 miles or so, keeping me on track for half marathons when they do spring up throughout the year. \u00a0It feels like I’m shortchanging myself, but I have to remember that 2013 is going to be about balance. \u00a0I’m going to focus more on a broader range of workouts, not just running. \u00a0I’m going to be swimming, biking, and I want to be sure to continue my strength work as well.<\/p>\n
So 600 miles it is. \u00a0If achieved, it will still be my second highest mileage year ever. \u00a0That’s not nothing.<\/p>\n
As for biking\/swimming distance goals, I don’t have any. \u00a0Having never really trained steadily in either of these sports, I have no idea what the future holds. \u00a0But we will see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
