2014 Goals revisited

by 15 Comments

Arkansas-finishlineThis picture pretty much sums up how I feel about 2014 so far.

Running

  1. Finish another five half marathons in five days. Done!  Loved it so much I’m already scheming about one for 2015, plus pieces of two other series.  I love Mainly Marathons!
  2. Run 14 16 half marathons in 2014. 10 down!  6 more to go this year (wonder if I’ll end up doing more than 16.)
  3. Run half marathons in 4 new states and one new country. 4 states done!  Ireland coming up this summer
  4. NEW GOAL – Venus – I made this goal after I wrote my original post.  13 half marathons in 79 days.  10 done, 3 more to go.  The last one will be a huge celebration at ZOOMA Annapolis.  (Join me – use code ANNAMB8 for 10% off! )

Fitness/Physical Health

  1. Keep moving our whole family down the path towards healthier eating and more movement.
    Huge progress here!  Beer Geek has been biking constantly, Shoo is a soccer maniac, and Jones is starting to run a little bit. And we are all eating a bit cleaner.
  2. Move on the days I’m not running – a minimum of fifteen minutes. Not loving my floppy arms.  That’s all I’m saying.
  3. Get back to a point where I’m comfortable in all of my clothes. I haven’t lost anything, but I didn’t gain while I was running high mileage, which is unusual for me.  Now that I’m running normal amounts, it’s time to do something about trimming the pudge.

Work

  1. Consistently work the number of hours each month that I’m supposed to hit. I have to accept that there’s an up and down flow both in work available and time I have to do it.  But it’s still a great job.
  2. Keep building my skills with Google Apps, especially in creating Google Sites. I spent hours last week beating Google Sites into submission.

Personal

  1. Actually attend a BURP (homebrewers/beer lovers) event.
  2. Take a trip with Beer Geek.  Done!
  3. Be more social.  I recently started working as a reference librarian for the public library.  I LOVE it.  It’s so nice to use the skills I got in grad school and my previous jobs.  It’s also a chance to interact with people!  I also continue to run with the MRTT ladies and a couple of friends.  AND I’m going out for coffee this week with a non-running friend.  Look at me, I’m a social butterfly. ;o)

  3. See, I had pretty much decided not to run Zooma, but now I kinda want to just to see you hit Venus!

  5. I think you will totally run more than 16 halfs this year! Seeing as we are only at the beginning of May you have a lot of time to get more runs in!
