It's funny....I was just reading my Recap of my running year 2013. It's always fun to relive those memories. At the bottom of the post, I outlined my goals for 2014.
"What will 2014 bring? I'm thinking another full marathon, getting my personal training certification, my RRCA Running Coach certification and my health coach certification. I have my fingers crossed to be chosen as a Lululemon ambassador, a Zooma Ambassador and being chosen for Nuun Hydrations Hood to Coast Relay Team!"
I accomplished some of those goals, but not others. Honestly some I had sort of forgotten about....and some to be honest...I was probably a bit ambitious. I don't have all that time!
Running another Full Marathon: CHECK! I ran Marine Corps Marathon again....and really wanted to break up with the marathon at the finish line. Read about it here.
Getting my personal training certification: STILL ON THE BACKBURNER
Getting my Health Coach Certification: STILL ON THE BACKBURNER
Becoming a Lululemon Ambassador: SOMEDAY! Hoping and wishing on that one! As a spin instructor, I would love to have my picture up on the wall of my local Lululemon!
Being as a Zooma Run Ambassador: CHECK! I was chosen and ran the Zooma Annapolis 10k and Half Marathon.
Being chosen for Nuun's HTC Team: CHECK...SORT OF. I was chosen as part of Team Nuun, which I may then be able to run HTC for Nuun!
Getting my RRCA Run Coach Certification: Coming up in April 2015! Wahoo!
But also completed a goal that wasn't on that list....I completed my very first triathlon! At the Nations Triathlon here in DC. You can read all about it here. I finished 1st in my Age Group and it qualified me for the Age Group Nationals this summer in WI.
What are my goals for 2015?
I want to run another full marathon (or two!). I definitely want to go sub 4:00 as my initial goal and then run a 3:35 to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Heck, my hubby did it...I can do it too!
I want to attend yoga once a week.
I want to incorporate more strength training. This used to be a larger priority for me, but it let it slide in 2014. 2015 will be the year of strong! I feel like such a stronger runner when I focus on weight training!
Let's see what 2015 will bring! What are your goals?
Colleen,
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for sharing! I loved reading about your goals. I too think someday I'd like to be a health coach. Let me know when you look to doing that as I'd be interested to hear your experience. Would love to catch up for Boston!!!
