  • Run/walk 1100 miles (run 700) = 92(58)/mo; 21(14)/wk; 3/day
  • Bike 2000 miles = 167/mo; 39/wk; 6/day
  • Run a 5K in 31 minutes (or PR)
  • Run 2nd Marathon
  • Complete an olympic distance duathlon
  • Use car less than 4000 miles = 333/mo; 77/wk
  • Restaurant food budget = $50/mo; $12/wk
  • Cook 90% of my meals (restaurant meals = 9/mo; 2/wk)
  • Complete 40 items from 101 Thing list (for a total of 75)
  • Read 12 books
Tentative 2011 Racing Schedule
I haven't registered for any 2011 races yet, but below are the ones I am considering. The plan is to emphasize local races that are within biking distance, or races I've never done before to get the new bling. There are a few repeats because they are close to home or a rare distance. Obviously I won't do everything listed here since some are on the same day, but I'm keeping my options open for now :)

2010 Recap: Goals



Goal Status
Complete at least 30 items from my 101 things in 1001 days list. Yes! I've completed 35 items so far, and have others in progress. I changed my approach to this a bit from the original plan, but it is still serving it's purpose well. I'll go into more details in a separate post.
Complete my first marathon! Yes! Read the race report. It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait to do it again. I applied for the NYC marathon lottery again, and if I do not get in I hope to run the Space Coast Marathon in November.
Complete my first olympic triathlon No. I only did one sprint triathlon, and it didn't go so well. I decided to focus on running instead. I may try an olympic distance duathlon  instead.
Complete the Tri 2010 dailymile challenge - run/bike/swin at least a total of 2010 miles in tri proportions: swim 60, bike 1568, run/walk 382 Yes and No. I covered a total of 2572 miles, but not in those proportions. My swimming was practically non-existant, but the biking and running more than made up for it. I'll post full distance/time stats and graphs for all sports in a separate post when Dailymile publishes the annual reports.
Do a long run of at least 6-10 miles/week (total of 12 - 18 miles per week) Yes, for the most part. I am sure there were a few weeks when I did not, due to injury or some other conflict, but I kept up with running pretty regularly throughout the year.
Run/walk 700 miles (58/month; 14/week) Yes! I ran 686 miles and walked 326 miles for a total of 1,012 miles.
Bike 1750 miles (146/month; 34/week) No, but 1552 miles is still an improvement over the 1487 miles in 2009.
Swim 1 mile non-stop No, I stopped swimming after the triathlon break up. I'll attempt this again someday, but not anytime soon.
Exercise 365 hours (1 hour/day) Yes! 439 hours (37/mo; 8.4/wk; 1.2/day)
Run a 5K in under 30 minutes (or PR) Yes! New PR is 32:10, and improvement of 1:02
Run a 10K without walking Yes! My longest non-stop run was 7.5 miles.
Run a 1/2 marathon in under 2:35 (or PR) Yes and Yes! :) I PR and ran 2 under 2:35.
Maintain my weight at under 125 lbs Kinda. My weight fluctuates between 125-130, and I'm ok with that.
