Setting goals is an important part of running. Any runner should have goals that they want to reach whether they run for competition, for fitness, or for fun.
An article I read recently on setting goals (found here) had some excellent tips for goal setting. I have copied the main points of the article below.
- Set specific and measurable goals.
- Set goals that are challenging yet achievable.
- The fitter you already are, the less you will improve.
- Do not expect quick results.
- State your goal in terms of performance rather than outcome.
This is some excellent advice, but they forgot to mention in the article to write your goals down. If you do not write them down they will be easily forgotten and not completed.
After setting your goals, follow them through to the end! If you set your goals and do not follow them through, your goals will not be effective. All it is is common sense!
Here is a quote about dreams:
“Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.”
-T.E. Lawrence
Please curious runners, set goals and achieve the impossible. Dream with your eyes open.

This is my blog where I write about running, training, races, and anything else running related. Because I run for Mountain View High School I may write about my team and opposing teams in the Treasure Valley. Everything written in this blog is my personal opinion and does not reflect the views of my coaches, my teammates, or my school.
