This quote really does sum up how I feel about the start of a new year. Yes, you can obviously set goals for yourself at any time…and I often do. But for me there is something about having a fresh new year laid out before you that just speaks of infinite possibilities!
I carved out some quite time for myself over the last couple of days to really hone in on what I’d like 2014 to look like. On the fitness front, here’s some of what I’ll be shooting for this year:
- #14in2014 Challenge
- Consistent strength training — key word being consistent!
- Run a sub-2:20 half marathon
- Run more races with my oldest son
- Set a new PR for the 10-mile distance — (haven’t quite figured out the target time yet)
- Run 1,000 miles
- Continue to learn more about nutrition to find what works best for my training and overall health
I’m ready to write that new chapter! Happy New Year!
Great set of goals! Strength training, consistently, is so key at our ages!
I can feel such a difference when I stay on the strength-training wagon! Just have to force myself to make time for it 🙂
Love it! I definitely enjoy the ‘clean slate’ aspect of the new year. All the best in reaching those awesome goals.
Thanks Marcia – Feeling very fired up for this year 🙂
GREAT goals for 2014!! I love that you have included strength training in your goals too. Best of luck!!
Thanks! I know strength training will play a key role in staying injury-free.
Those are some great goals! I like that you threw consistency in there. I could use a little of that myself!
I’ve been trying to map out a strength training plan to match my running plan – hopefully it will keep me on track.
Happy New Year! I’m sure you’ll knock out your goals!
Thanks Janelle! Happy New Year to you too!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE that quote!!
You’re goals almost mirror mine!!
