New year’s resolutions are not really my style and I don't usually
participate in them, however this year a group of my close girlfriends decided
they wanted to write 'new me' resolutions and share them with each other. I
decided that mine was not so much of a new me resolution but a find the pre
vertigo 2013 version of me that was fit and focused, here is the result:
Find a running coach and work on a gym program
geared to strengthening my running muscles & increase my cardio fitness,
also to assist with nutritional information to help me get the best fuel for my
runs
Run 10km in February – Geelong River Run
Run 17km in March – Great Rail Trail Run
Run 21.1km in my first half marathon with Greg
& Carol at the Geelong half
Find and sign up for as many fun runs as possible
after the half marathon so that I do not lose focus once the ‘unachievable’ has
been achieved
Track my food on MFP as much as possible, things
always work better when I track
Limit alcohol intake, I generally don’t drink a lot
but December has certainly seen a big increase on booze consumed, go back to
drinking only on special occasions and not ‘just because I feel like it’
Get my ass out of hotels and find a job in a new
industry
Find time to catch up with old friends who I do not
see enough of
Use my diary to schedule my exercise times so that
I do not have an ‘I don’t have time’ excuse
Plan meals and shop accordingly so that there is no
excuse for take away or other crappy foods
And there it is, my plan for 2014 - do you make
resolutions? What are your goals for 2014?
Hey hey. Still playing catch up with the blog reading. The half marathon is scaring me witless! But we will do it, right?!! I'll be doing the Mother's Day Classic in Geelong again this year, will you be doing that (8km) ?? Although fresh off the half marathon I may be hobbling!! ha.
ReplyDeleteResolutions not so much. Although I have resolved to stop a habit that I used to have, that I stopped, and now have slowly slid back to - and that is eating in the car. It's like it's the "it doesn't count" eating. So I'm nipping that in the bud.
