2017 Goals

I’m new this whole writing thing, so I thought I would start off with some of my 2017 goals. New year new you, right? I’ve decided to break my goals up into a couple different categories- races, exercising, life and work.

This year I have a couple big races ahead of me and with big races come some big goals.

1.       Finish my first 100 miler for my 30^th birthday (Yeti  100)

2.       Maybe under 24 hours?

3.       Run at least 25 miles at Toughest Mudder in May

4.       Maybe place?

5.       Place top 10 females at WTM in November

6.       Maybe get the coveted 75 mile silver bib?

Along with the big races comes actually exercising and preparing for them. I’ve been a runner and gym going for quite a few years now but there are some things I usually neglect working on to become a better athlete. So this year I’m really going to try to achieve these goals.

1.       Be able to complete 10 strict pullups in a row

2.       Run 1000 miles this year (already at 65ish, so a pretty good start a lot more to go)

3.       Prehab and take care of my body before I destroy it

4.       Start doing yoga more

Life. Everyone has a different definition of it. I want my life to be less negative and more carefree. I want to be more positive, nicer person and not so jaded. I want to travel and learn new things. I want to make a better effort at my relationships with my family and friends. With being less negative and more careful comes finding a job. Working is something I’m not currently fond of, but I do it before life. This year I’m hoping to find a job I truly love and makes me happy to go to every day. 

Here's to a new years and lot of goals!
