2013 is shaping up to be a big year for me. I have a ton going on with school, fitness, blogging, life in general. I have no idea where life is going to go so I enlisted the help of my wonderful hubs to make goals with me! Of course, his were a little crazy, I expected nothing less but we wrapped them up nicely and came up with this list:
- Run a sub-30 minute 5K.
- Run a sub-2:30 half marathon.
- Do another fun run.
- Do another fun Bike Ride (like the ACS Bike-a-Thon).
- Walk/Run/Bike 1000 miles.
- Volunteer three times.
These are very different from last year’s goals and also not where I thought I would be going with the year. I thought I would cut down on my running but honestly, it keeps me moving. But I also made sure not to make another “marathon” goal. Half marathons are doable for me without much trouble. I have to train but it doesn’t take over my whole life. I can still do other fun things while I train for those.
The 1000 mile challenge is actually from a friend of mine. I don’t know how realistic this is for me until I realized that it also include biking. I’ll be using my FitBit data for this also so every day walking will count toward it. I just rolled over the 1000 mile mark on my FitBit which I’ve have for about a year and 2 months now so I guess it would be reasonable. We’ll see!
Of course, there are always things I’m doing and monthly goals will pop up but I like to keep my yearly goals bigger, more difficult. Things I need more time to work toward. I also want to lose weight still but I didn’t want to make it a goal. I want to see where January takes me and go from there!
What are some of your 2013 goals?
Absolutely LOVE the “move 1000mi” goal! Running 1000 miles in a year is probably never gonna happen for me, but I love the idea of running, walking, and biking 1000! I’m adding that to my goal list for 2013! 🙂 The sub-30 5K and sub-2:30 13.1 goals were both on my 2012 list and I got to cross off both of them! Best of luck 🙂
Way to go on the race goals! I just have to take my first step out the door for 2013 still!
