Wow! It’s already January 3! And I just couldn’t let another day go by without sharing my goals for this year.
For most of us, New Year resolutions give us an opportunity to begin afresh, dream big, have a meaningful purpose and/or do something we’ve always wanted to do. There’s something about a new year that gives us guts and passion, fire and determination and everything else that is needed to make us feel that we can conquer the world. Never mind that midway during the year one would be hard-pressed to find that well of positivity, but hey let’s not get ahead of ourselves and be content to run, no pun intended, with all we feel. For this reason, among many others, I think setting goals are important while doing our best to fulfill them; reviewing and revising as life circumstances permit.
With that in mind, my running goals and it’s affiliates for this year include:
. Running the Miami Marathon
. Qualifying for the Boston Marathon 2015
. Doing a Mud Run in Summer
. Exploring new running territories in the NY area and Expanding my running base
. Running at least two other out-of-state marathons, hopefully one to include the Chicago Marathon
. Running a PR of 1:30 in a half marathon
. Logging my mileage
I think I’ll stop here. Oftentimes, I’ve fallen into the trap of having too many goals, which can be either unrealistic or too constraining. This year I’ve decided to set wisely and save myself a lot of stress by making them achievable and time-bound.
Cheers to 2014 & fulfilling Running Goals!
