2014 Goals

2:30 Half Marathon
I might only do one half this year, so its going to be a good one.

Run 1500km
I did close to 1100 in 2013, so this is doable. 

Run a Marathon
Feels like a bit of a cheat goal since I'm already registered and training, but I still have to get through it on the day.

Do Yoga
A simple goal. Just continue to make yoga a part of my life.

Go Somewhere New
This is going to be a goal every year. It doesn't need to be as epic as going half way around the world to New Zealand, anywhere new would be fine.

Watch 100 Movies
I was so close last year. Movies need to be new to me.

Read 50 Books
I read 60 in 2013, but I always start the year with the goal set at 50.

2013 Goals - How'd It Go

I wasn't really blogging at the beginning of last year, so my 2013 goals only live on my ipod. Let's review them anyways, shall we?

Run 8K Continuously
This didn't happen. I got up to running 6K continuously. My hip injury and pretty much taking 3 months off running didn't help this.

Go Somewhere New

When I set this goal, I was thinking along the lines of Montreal. New Zealand works though!

300 Workouts
I seem to remember Daily Mile sending me a year in review last year, otherwise I'm not sure how I'll track this. According to Garmin Connect, I did 155 runs so I must be close to 300. I'll update this if I can.

Watch 100 Movies
I got up to 98 which is pretty good. Or maybe I watch too many movies, I don't know.

2.5 Hour Half Marathon
Another goal victim to my injury. I know it would have happened though in October if I hadn't been dealing with my hip strain.

Run 1000km
Despite my injury, ran 1071. 2012's total was 815, so I'm pretty pleased with this.

Read 50 Books
I ended up reading 59 so A+ here.

Weigh Less
This was a goal for me at the beginning of the year, but 2013 was the year that I accepted my body for what it is and what it can do so heck with a number on the scale. That's not to say that I don't weight myself, I do to keep track of how I'm doing with my eating. But I'm not trying to get to some sort of magical number anymore so this goal has been met in a completely different way.

Onto 2014!
