I love being accountable for the goals I have set. I do tend to keep track of things and break down year long goals into smaller pieces. Because of this – and because of all the fun I had with the December #holidayaday photo challenge, I joined the Goalgetter2013 group. In running, I had two… Continue reading Accountability
I don’t think I truly coherently – and I may not be coherent about it again this year – wrote down any goals for 2012. I did post my running goals on my profile at Dailymile.com but did not blog about them extensively. This year I have more goals, though not resolutions. These are goals… Continue reading 2013 Goals
So Wednesday night was the night. I ran my first race since running two marathons in the month of May. No, this is not the way I planned my race schedule. This is the way it worked out as I ended up injured after Buffalo. The run was not pretty. I realized I had really… Continue reading Women’s Distance Festival 5K Recap
Sometimes I think I set goals that are too lofty. That is probably what a lot would say of my starting with the 5 hour pace group in Pittsburgh. I think that goals need to be a stretch to keep a person trying to do better. Since Pittsburgh, I have been thinking non-stop about what… Continue reading Buffalo Goals
April has arrived! I am looking back over all the things I wanted to write about this year at the beginning of the year and realizing I didn’t get many of these writing “projects” done. Now, with a quarter of 2012 behind me, I am going to take a look at how I am moving… Continue reading Quarterly Review
Back in February, I wrote about a hydration goal. I find drinking enough – sometimes more than enough – water in warmer weather or in dryer climates easier. Winter has been a difficult time for me to stay hydrated. Upstate NY has had summer weather the last few days of winter and first few days… Continue reading Hydration Goal Update
Get lighter!! This is the motto for 2012…lighter, lighter, lighter. We can all do it. And, it will apply to all different parts of our lives. See my goals for this new year. Body/Fitness/Health Lose 25 pounds. My son is getting married in August so ultimately, I would love to have this goal achieved by… Continue reading Get Lighter!
I realize that my year in review talked about my running last year. Then, I finally got some stats from last year via email from Dailymile.com (thanks, guys!). I now can look at this second full year of running and racing from a numbers point of view. Having always been very good at math, I… Continue reading By the Numbers
Do you make New Year’s resolutions? What is so special, other than the term new year would indicate a fresh slate, about January 1st? I realize that having a new calendar makes my life seem like I am getting a fresh start. I also realize that tradition dictates that I make resolutions. Yet, as is… Continue reading Resolutions
I know that goals not put in writing are just dreams. Next Sunday’s marathon is not a dream but an actual race so my feelings are I need to put some goals down in writing. By this time next Sunday, I will have started my second marathon. I have never run Wineglass before but… Continue reading Goal Time
