Tuesdays on the Run: 2015 Resolutions

1/20/2015

13 Comments

 

Another Tuesday, another Tuesday on the Run hosted by our favorites: 
April from Run the Great Wide Somewhere, Erika from MCM Mama Runs, and Patty from No-Guilt Life. This week's topic is 2015 Resolutions. 

I am currently enjoying my time at Universal Studios Orlando before heading to WDW later this morning-so exciting for Marathon weekend to finally be here!

I wrote a
post last week wrapping up my 2014 resolutions and feel I did pretty well. Now to go over my 2015 Resolutions in Detail!

HEALTH RELATED
1. Become more gluten free- I have gone gluten free and love it but i want to get better at it. I hate being a bother about it and in turn that leads to many stomach aches and feeling like crap. I really want to step it up and really become gluten free. 
2. Limit social drinking to 1-2 times/month- This has not really been a problem but I would like to limit my drinking to mostly wine (mainly because many spirits are made with wheat and contain gluten) but also make sure I am being social and going out with my friends.
3. Examine food scripts-I want to start blogging about this and how it is important to look at what I consider a food script (something such as having a burger and fries or something like that) and I want to make sure I am making the healthiest choices I can make. 
4.  Get my blog out there-apply for some ambassadorships- I want to get my blog out there and meet more people and also pick up my readership. I am going to be applying to ambassadorships (Girls Gone Sporty and Sweat Pink first) with a goal of working up my readership to be able to apply for FitFluential. 
5. Consistently Cross-train 3x a week, core and stretch every day- I have been off and on with this for awhile but I want to get better at it. When I stretch every day, I just feel better! I need to be consistent especially with cross training with PIyo and weights. I want to make my mini-core routine a routine as I know it will help greatly with my running

RUNNING RELATED
1. finish all of my races healthy/work on Chi Running techniques
I have gone back and re-read both my Chi Running books and I want to get more into it and post about it. Expect these to start popping up soon on here! 
2. increase my interval to a strong 3 minutes running/30 sec walking
Before Dopey training took over, I was starting to work on a 2:45 running/:30 sec walking but it was tough. I want to really work on getting to a strong interval of 3 min running/30 sec walking
3. time goals: sub 5:00 marathon, sub 2:10 half, sub :58 10k, sub 28 min 5k, run a 5k straight
Sub 5:00 marathon-shooting for the LA Marathon-I am ready for redemption!
Sub 2:10 half-I am shooting for the Sunset Strip Half I just signed up for in April! It was my boyfriend's idea and I could not turn down a new chance to race where it is 60 bucks and local. I think the course will be hilly so this time goal may not happen but I want to try for it. 
sub :58 10k-so close at the Christmas run! I am not running a 10k for awhile so this may have to wait until Nov or Dec but I will get it!
sub 28 5k- I think I can definitely achieve this especially with my increase in speedwork I have planned. 
run a 5k straight-I know my time will be faster if I take walk breaks but I want to challenge myself and do this. I have 2 5ks back to back (Santa Anita and then Angels). I am thinking Santa Anita may be my chance to try this but have other 5ks I am looking at throughout the year
4. run more local races 
I am well on my way to this goal already signed up for 2 local 5ks, and a half. I have a few more local races planned as well. 
5. travel for a race that is not Disney related
I know-crazy right? But I want to start traveling 1-2 times a year for a race and a vacation. Right now, I am on the Fall marathon train.
I originally wrote here about how my plan was to do the MCM lottery, then Chicago and hold off on NYC and now I don't know! I am going to wait to see when the NYC reveal date will be and then make a final decision. I would love to be able to go to Wine and Dine again next year but that is also still up in the air. Decisions, decisions!
6. 15 races in 2015
I have already written about that here but I have a very packed race plan for 2015 and will definitely meet this goal! Maybe a new goal should be 30 in 2015? only time will tell! More on this next week! :)




What are your goals for 2015?

Fantastic goals!! I have goals but not quite that lofty. I am training for my first Half Marathon this year!! It's in May. I picked the longest plan (20 weeks) so I had plenty of time to gradually up my mileage. A goal without a plan is just a goal.
Best wishes to you in 2015! You will ROCK IT!

I love all of your goals and how specific they are! I also set the goal of 15 races in 2015...it kind of depends how the year goes but I think if I sign up for some smaller, short races I should be able to do it!

I'm excited to hear about your Chi Running. I read about it a couple of years ago and tried to incorporate the techniques. Good luck with your 2015 goals!

Great goals - specific is good. I actually feel weird not doing 15 races in 2015. I may hit that number in the end, but it's not a goal this year.

Let me know if you'll be out this way for MCM!

Great Goals! I know I'll be heading back for Wine & Dine this year. It feels kind of weird that I'm only planning on two runDisney races this year!! But I'm branching out!! You'll do great on those goals, here's to an amazing 2015! Thanks for linking up with us!

It's fun to branch out and try more races especially local ones! I really think I'll do wine and dine because then I will have run every WDW race in one calendar year but Everest!
