    I don't know what kind of goals to set a whole year out. But, I do know I'd like to DL my bodyweight by March 1. I managed to do 2 sets of 8 reps with 70% of my bodyweight today, so I think it's doable. I'd also like to move up 5 pounds per arm on my dumbell overhead presses. I've been stuck shaking and barely getting past 10 reps on my current weight for what feels like FOREVER.

    Maybe a pull up or a chin up by the end of the year?

    Mine are running related too. St. Patrick's day, 5 K run. June, 10 K run. August, mud hero 6 K. I'll be taking lots of rest breaks.

    What has really been motivating me is thinking of my workouts as training for my hikes. There are some tough but beuatiful hikes I haven't felt fit enough to do yet so when I'm at the gym I think about that and push myself so much harder. So basically, my goals are specific hikes in my area - being able to complete them feeling good instead of like my legs are going to give out and I want to die.

    This is a good one!

    I have two primary non-weight loss fitness goals this year.

    First, complete the Heartland 39.3 series, 3 half marathons over 5 weeks. I have complete one half marathon to date.

    Second, provided I have built up the weekly miles and finished my first goal OK is to run my first full marathon in the fall.

    Mine current goals are also running related. I would like to increase my speed. I am also considering a Spartan event this year and I would like to climb the non knotted rope at my gym. I get almost to the top and then I freak out about coming down.

    I just talked my two equally out of shape college buddies into doing a warrior dash mud race with me in October. It's basically a 5k with a bunch of obstacles.

    I'm super pumped. That is going to be so much fun, and make the boring cardio training easier when its 100 degrees this summer.

    1) Run faster (get mile under 8, 2 mile under 18, 3 mile more consistently under 30, half under 2 hrs 20)
    2) Get stronger -focus on implementing a more consistent strength training program. Not sure yet how to evaluate this goal.

    Mine are:
    • Bring my mile down to 40 minutes in the pool.
    • Complete Son of a Swim at Lake Memphremagog
    • Swim from King Neptune's statue to the 14th St Pier in VA Beach a couple of times over the family vacation
    • Swim the Boston Sharkfest
    If I do REALLY well, swim 300 miles this year. (That may be more of a pipe dream, though, slow as I am)

    These sound fun!
