Finalized goals (all races are in Louisville, except for the State Park Series):

12/04/10: Old Tyme Christmas Santa Sprint 5k ($20, 11/27)
This race is in my neighborhood. I could run from our apartment for warmup. Of course race logistics (packet pickup, etc) makes it unlikely that I'll actually do that. I'll try to go under 20 minutes.

Polar Bear Grand Prix:
12/18/10: Reindeer Romp 4k ($15 + $10, 12/15)
01/15/10: Frostbite 5K ($25, 01/12)
02/12/10: Snowman Shuffle 4 Mile ($20, 02/09)
Unless I'm getting really good by then, I should aim for a sub-15:30 4K, a definite sub-20 5K and a sub-26 4 miler. That is a total of 61:30. Sub-1 hour would be a dream, probably unachievable. Edit: scratch all of this. I think the series is in Cherokee Park, which is very hilly. Unless I'm getting *really* good by then, the above times are probably too ambitious.

Louisville Triple Crown of Running
02/26/10: Anthem 5K Fitness Classic ($25, 02/19)
03/12/10: Rodes City Run 10K ($25, 03/05)
03/26/10: Papa John’s 10 Miler ($25, 03/19)
Here I should definitely go sub-20 on the 5K, optimally, this should be routine by then. It is too early to make any predictions or goals for the 10K. Since all my training will still focus mostly on 5Ks until at least 2/26, I don't think I can realistically hope for anything more than a sub-42. Similarly, I would be happy if I could keep 7-minute miles for the whole duration of the 10-miler, that is 1:10. So that is a total of 2:12.

Kentucky State Parks 5K series
Probably starting around April. It hasn't been announced yet.
