I have already laid out my plans for the year, but I also love a challenge. I have found two challenges by other bloggers that will fit perfectly with my plans for the year.
1. Run for the Bling of It! Lesley and Sherry have put together a great challenge where the goal is to run 12 races this year, ideally, one a month. The races can be anything from a 5k to an ultra. Back before Christmas, when I had made out my training plan for the year, I already had 12 races planned. This worked perfectly in my plan.

2. Run 1000+++ miles with Tall Mom Club. When I started to read blogs in October, I ran across Tall Mom on the Run's blog. This is where I discovered the idea of running 1000 miles in a year. So when I made my training schedule for the year, I had a goal of 1000 miles in mind. My husband laughed at me as I sat with a calculator trying to get my runs figured out. He also thinks I am crazy for doing it, but supports me anyway. I was excited to see that she was doing to challenge again. So obviously, I joined.
These are both awesome opportunities to challenge myself this year.
On the running front I have started the year off great mileage wise. I ran my first half marathon on 1/1/11. I have also logged two 3 mile runs since then so I have a total of 19 miles already and it is only January 4th.
Happy Running!
