    My fitness goals are strictly asthetic. I guess I am just vain and shallow lol. But anyway, to have a body similar to this:

    I am going to do a 10K with obstacles (Mens Survival of the Fittest) and a 5K (Spartan)... Every year I say I am going to get fit and so these events are going to be an additional push. Looks can be deceiving in my case, but my photo was a few years ago now and I've not changed a huge amount but I have never been physically 'fit'!

    I'd like to be a better swimmer for August, going on holiday and there will be a pool so I want to be able to be a good swimmer by then and not need to worry about technique. I would love to get better with cardio, my last swimming lesson was exhausting as it was entirely based on cardio...

    I would also like to do a run without having the 'need' to walk for a bit.

    My goal is to be able to pull myself up if I were to ever find myself dangling from a cliff.

    I've already run all the different distances, so my next race is going to be a marathon relay with my sister (shorter, obviously, but I haven't done that one.) I'm already signed up for it. I also haven't done any of the obstacle races or zombie runs, so those could be in my future. I think I would probably panic and die during the swim portion of a triathlon, so that's out. All those bodies splashing around and my phobia of deep, dark water are not a good mix.

    My goals this year are:

    1. Beat the longest bike ride I did last year, which was 20.52 miles.
    2. Beat lowest adult weight, which was 227.
    3. Officially be out of the plus size department
    4. Run 10 minutes straight with the jogging stroller. I completed this on May 30, running 20 minutes.
