It is that time of year again. The time we all turn to
making resolutions of fitness and financial stability. I am no stranger to this
tradition and am just as guilty as anyone else with regards to setting goals I don’t
intend to keep. As I reflect back over 2014 I notice a trend for which I am not
proud of. I failed to do my very best. I set out to run two full marathons and
only accomplished one half marathon instead.
Last year I made a lot of commitments to run this race, and
that race only to flake out at the last minute due to lack of training or pure
laziness.
I sat on the couch way too much in 2014. So my goal for 2015
will be a little different. I don’t intend on committing to running more races
than I am capable of or can afford. Instead I am going to commit to a dedicated
training schedule which will require me to get up and get moving.
There are
some races I defiantly want to try to accomplish this year, but it is too soon
to make any kind of announcements. I think I will wait until I am actually signed
up and one hundred percent confident I am going to cross the starting line before
sharing which races I am going to finish in 2015.
So, in 2015 I plan to run 1,000 miles. That equates to about
20 miles/week. It may be a stretch at first and I will have to do some major
runs to make up for any lag in the beginning, but I know I can do this. In 2014
as lazy as I was, I still ran more than 320 miles and burned more than 50,000 calories.
2015 will be my year. I can do this.I know I can.
