How do I keep doing this?
Back in November, I decided to run a 5-mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. I'd never run a 5-mile race before, so I took my shorter distance times and decided my goal was going to be finishing in under 55 minutes. Then I ran a 5-mail training run in 54 minutes flat. I had to completely redo my goal for race day. (Goal: 50 minutes. Finished in 49:47.)
Now I'm training for the Cleveland Half Marathon in May. Never run a half marathon before, so based on my training runs so far, I figured I was going to aim for finishing under 2:30. Then yesterday I ran slightly more than 13 miles in 2:28:30. *facepalm* Now I have to revise my goals again. This could start to get tedious.
