Year Ahead – 2016 Goals

Better late than never, I wanted to share my 2016 goals.  If you have been following my blog for the past couple of years (2014, 2015), I always had a long list of goals.  I realized some of the goals were more "bucket list" or "to do list" items, such as learning to knit and calligraphy...hmmm maybe another post. This year I wanted to take a more simplified approach to goal setting and narrowed it down to three categories: running, nutrition…

Hello 2016, I am excited to see you! Hope everyone had a nice New Years celebration - we stayed in and rang in the new year at my apartment.  As I mentioned in my Year in Review - 2015 Running by the Numbers post, this past year has been so-so and I am ready for a fresh start (funny how a day difference 12/31 to 1/1 can change perspective).  Before I share my 2016 goals, I wanted to recap my…

Happy New Years Eve! If you have been following my Running by the Numbers posts the past couple of years (2013, 2014) I usually include Excel charts of all things numbers from the past year (races, distances, times).  This year I thought it would be fun to make an infographic and link up with Courtney - Eat Pray Run DC for the Year of Running 2015.  Enjoy! Compared to 2014, I would say 2015 was an average year - it…

Monthly Goals – July 2015

Wowsa! Can't believe the year is halfway over.  There are several 2015 goals I still hope to accomplish (mid-year review coming soon as well).  Today I am going to recap my June goals and share my July goals.  1. Run/Walk/Elliptical 90 miles I squeaked it in and ran/walked 90.6 miles.  Note: Not all my Fitbit steps count towards my mileage goal. 2. Hit 10,000 steps/day I ended the month with 433,312 steps (about 7,000 more than May) and hit 10,000 steps/day for 28…

Monthly Goals – June 2015

Last month turned out better than expected! Today I am going to recap my May goals and share my June goals.  1. Run/Walk/Elliptical 80 miles I finally did it...I ran/walked 86.7 miles (no elliptical).  Having the Fitbit definitely helped in this area.  I know my mileage was higher in the beginning of the month vs. the end of the month....next month should be more consistent.  2. Hit 10,000 steps/day I ended the month with 424,726 steps and hit 10,000 steps/day for 27 of…

Monthly Goals – May 2015

The year is going by so quickly! In terms of goals, April was a so-so month.  If I had to give it a grade, it would likely be a B minus. Today I am going to recap my April goals and share my May goals. 1. Run/Walk/Elliptical 80 miles In March I had a goal of 75 miles and ended the month with 79.57 miles.  Based on that number I increased my April goal to 80 miles.  I ended the month…

Monthly Goals – April 2015

March was a great month! While I did not meet all my goals, I am feeling much better and fitter compared to February. Today I am going to recap my March goals and share my April goals.  1. Run/Walk/Elliptical 75 miles I ended the month with 79.57 miles (I know...I know....I should have run .43 more miles for the pretty 80).  It was the first time I met my mileage goal since I started sharing my monthly goals in December.  2. Strength Train…

Monthly Goals – March 2015

February did not turn out as expected.  I was extremely happy to kick off the month injury free - the foot pain I experienced in December and January was finally gone! I was really excited to increase my mileage again, and thought my goals were challenging yet attainable.  Transitioning to a new/old project took more time than expected, and unfortunately the work/life balance took a hit (especially in the fitness department). Today I am going to recap my February goals…

2015 is three weeks away! Like many of you, I cannot believe that 2014 is almost over.  I thought it would be fun to post a Year in Review series each Wednesday leading up to New Years Eve.  On that day I will share my 2015 goals.  Today I am reviewing my 2014 goals that I shared last New Years Eve.
