Do you have a goal to do a marathon, 1/2, obstacle run, triatholon, 5K, or anything? What are you working towards?

    I'm working towards being able to do pull-up again, and Aerial Cartwheels and hopefully, Back Handsprings! I also want to be able to run at least 2.5km in less than 10 min again. I still get the urge to just RUN, but I can't run too far anymore lol.

    I recently completed my first 10k race and this week started training for my first triathlon. Having an event to train for has done wonders for my motivation!

    I'm thinking of going for a half-mary in the fall...we'll see how tri training goes.

    I registered for my first half marathon in 2014! I will probably be in tears at the finish line...such an exciting thought! Oh, and I'll totally be that person with a 13.1 magnet on their car. :-)

    I just did my first 1/2 and I was bummed they didn't have the magnets for us. I will be getting one!

    Awesome goals for all. I love seeing what people are working towards. I am doing a Rugged Maniac in May and just did my first 1/2 so I am also using this as a way to see what else I want to do LOL Part of me wants to do a triathalon, BUT I don't have a bike and nowhere good to train to swim, so I think I need a different goal

    I have:

    1. Run in a full marathon
    2. Run in 10 half marathons and I'm now an official member of the Half Fanatics
    3. Completed 2 triathlons
    4. Run in two dozen 5ks
    5. Learned how to do weight training (back in 2003)

    I just came off of a heavy season of running. I'm ready to spend some time in the gym rebuilding my total body strength. I not only want to feel strong but I want to look strong. I've missed weight training and I haven't concentrated on it since I was 21 so 10 years later, I'm here and ready to make this my main focus.

    GOAL: I would like to compete in a fitness modeling competition someday as well.

    Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro; September, 2014. A whole lotta money and time invested so failure is not an option.

    My 6th half-marathon is coming up in a few weeks--I hope to set a new personal record there, but much depends on how hot and humid it is on the day. Then, as long as we stay put, I'm planning to do a trail marathon in December. That would be my first marathon--I decided if I was going to do the distance, I'd rather spend 7 or 8 hours in the woods than 5-ish on the roads.

    One goal at a time: Climing a 14er this year without knees aching so much.

    I have my first full marathon in 26 sleeps!! I have been training for what seems like so long, I am so excited for it to be over, but I'm nervous as well . . . what to do next?? After it's over, I am going to cut back on the running a bit, but I still have 2 half's scheduled for this year (which I am hoping to beat my personal bests, as they are courses that I have done before); and I am going to try to focus more on strength training. If I love it as much as I think I will, I may set my sights on a fitness competition next :smile:

    Kill a bear with my bare hands. And if I get attacked, I want to be able to lift a man above my head. Basically snatch a man. If those count as a fitness related goal.
    I want my bench, deadlift and squat combined to be 500kgs. I think it's the most realistic goal

    Pistol squats (I can't even do one quiet yet)
    Deadlift 200 lbs (I just hit 190 lbs)

    Planning a hike to the top of Pikes Peak the end of July with some girlfriends. My first 14er! Also planning to run my first half marathon in December. I'm kind of old ( as my kids would say) but, nothing ventured nothing gained!

    I've got a 5k planned for May and would like to go hiking once before it gets too hot and insect-y.

    I cried at the end of my first one as well...it was such a great feeling to have accomplished that. Be careful, half marathons are addicting! :) I will be doing my 4th half next month.

    I don't have a magnet, but I do have a bumper sticker...well...actually more than one. Ahem.

    I am doing my first Sprint Triathlon this Sunday. Nervous as all get out but excited too....I'm impressed with everyone's goals. I would really like to see the flip in bed thing. Is that during intercourse or after?
