2012 Goals

Eesh, but this is a hard entry to write. Putting down goals in writing and then sharing them is a bit like engraving them in cement. The capacity to fail becomes much more obvious. But then my other option is to keep it secret, and only announce it if I achieve it? Yikes! A bit like those spell tests in elementary school where you couldn't remember if the word was spelt with an 'e' or an 'a'. So you decide to do some chicken scratch writing, that you can argue it out either way if the answer comes back wrong. Imperitive? Imperative? ... how about imperᴂtive?
But back to it! Tempting as it is, I guess I'd better write it down now. The worst I can do is fail, afterall. But if I succeed, all the better.

Goal 2012: Achieve a PB (personal best) in a distance I have already raced. In other words, running a 16k race is fun, but will not count towards a PB as I have never run one before.
Current PBs:
5k: 28.30 (I've only raced two 5ks. This is a rough estimate of one I ran in Rockhampton 2011)
8k: 42.25 (Mother's Day Classic 2010)
10k: 54.18 (Doomben 2009 - yes, this is getting a little old to be a standing PB!)
21.1k - 2.05.28 (Doomben 2011)
