1/2 2011 Goals

So I'm really bad about setting yearly goals- its too hard for me to think 1 year in advance.  I do know that one goal for the year 2011 is to complete 21 half marathons in 21 different states. This will bring me to a total of 25 states, thus halfway to the long term goal of a half in each state!  All other goals for myself I have set till June, 6 month mark, and will re-evaluate / adjust goals beginning of July as needed.

By end of June 2011

RUNNING

• Break into 1:40s at least once for half marathon
• Run first sat / sun half marathons back to back- might be doing a quad threat, 2 back to backs 2 weekends in a row- races being finalized. Apr 30, May 1, May 7, May 8!!
• Begin to branch out of just running for training- perhaps yoga, pilates, or p90x.
• more consistent with workouts- doing combo of running / weights/ other workout 4x week.
• upgrade my  Half Fanatics moon status to Earth by completing 16 halfs in 16 states in 365 day time frame.
• run my first 10k 'race' and find other intermediate races to participate in on non half weekends. 
• strive for 90-100 miles / month

WORK

• Figure out and make a step toward grad school / CHES certification (work to me) 
• Less stress- focus on the small changes my clients are making, big or small and remind myself I help make a difference in someone else's life.
• Branch out of comfort zone and interact with other departments and meet more colleagues.
• keep eyes open for opportunities for development 

SOCIAL

• will join some type of running group / activities club to meet more people. 
• do a better job to keep in touch with friends both in the city and back home
• talk with parents / siblings more- keep closer tabs on nephews 
• Continue to work on saving money and not splurging it on weekends and going out. 

MY OWN WELL BEING

• get back into journaling ups and downs before bed to help de-stress
• read at least one health related / self improvement book / month
• again with yoga or pilates :) 
• work on time management so have more free time for others and myself of course 
• positive self-affirmations everyday- remember to be thankful for my life :)
