Goals for 2014: as I was reviewing the data from 2013, I'd already
started thinking about what I can do the same, more, better, and
different for a great 2014.
Running: Continue to run every day, at least one mile. It's already been over 400 days, which is insane to me. We'll see how long I can keep it going.
Cross training: Add weight lifting, at least 1 hour per week. Every
runner always reads about weight lifting. This year I've updated my
training log to give weightlifting its own column. I can do BodyPump
once per week, or do my own exercises, or youtube videos.
Cross
training: Add stretching, at least 1 hour per week. Again, I gave this
its own column on my training log this year. I will count Yoga, or
stretching on my own at home, or foam rolling sessions. I started to
realize the importance of stretching this year, and it really became
part of my life as I kept running after the marathon.
Cross training: Add core work, 1 hour per week.
This can be stuff like 8 minute
abs or going to a Pilates class. This is a 'soft' goal because
I can't quite picture how I'm going to add this to my life, but it
seems like a good idea. Can we just take a moment to honor the
greatness of the 8 minute abs video, and the other videos in the
'8-minute' family?
Total weekly mileage: Average 28 miles per week. This is a 'soft' goal because increasing mileage without marathon training may present some
challenges.
Total mileage: 1,450 for the year
which matches nicely with averaging 28 miles per week. Again, this is a
'soft' goal because I keep saying I'm not running a marathon next year.
Nutrition: I know I should come up with one, but I don't have anything specific enough in my mind right now. My current goal may actually be to track my eating for all of February. I'm giving myself January off.
