    - Drop 5kg (or more accurately, get to 52kg)
    - sub 3:30 marathon (current pb 3:32 so not overly ambitious. Truthfully I'd really like a sub 3:20)
    - Sub 1:33 half marathon (current pb 1:35 but feel sub 1:30 is a bit beyond me. Though dropping those 5kg would probably help...)
    - Help my husband train for and run his first half marathon

    Great times! I'm shooting for sub 1:29.59 in a spring HM. Fingers crossed.

    I think if I could get a sub 90 hm I could die happy... Good luck!

    Some work to be done still. But it is within reach. Thanks. Best of luck to you on your training!

    Does anyone else have any fitness goals next year?

    I've had a very difficult year healthwise so while I've completed six marathons and two half marathons I've not been all that happy with the performances. If I can get over the illness I've been suffering I've got several opportunities.

    I've currently got two 12 hour endurance races and four trail marathons booked, I've also got my first road marathon coming up. I may book another two 12 hour races, and another couple of trail marathon.

    The biggest challenge with some of these is running a 12 hour followed by a marathon the following day.

    I am starting a 300 swing kettlebell workout tomorrow

    Hi can I ask how you log kettlebells as I can't find them on the list?

    Finish strong lifts and reassess strength goals after.
    Get in the water 3-4 times a week and average 3,000-5,000 meters per swim.
    And do more mobility work. I've been bad about this over the last year and I'm paying the price currently.

    I have a goal of being able to walk for one hour by the end of next week. Can currently do 10 minutes.

    By the end of the year I want to be able to run 20 miles.

    I'm normally very fit, can run 15 miles but I'm recovering from surgery so need to walk before I can run!

    surprised myself at having swam over 200 miles in 2017.

    Let's go for 300 in 2018! :D

    A few things...
    Drop another 20 pounds, and master the rope climb.
    After 8 months of CrossFit I’m starting powerlifting today. I’ll do that for a few months to get my strength up and then start including CrossFit again to prepare for the multiple OCR races I’ve signed up for this year.
    Should be a fun year!

    Improve my swimming by April so I can go Scuba diving, snorkelling and enjoy other water sports on holiday.
    Complete the C25K programme to be able to compete in a 5k race in March for work.
    Begin regular strength training on my own in addition to a class (have shied away from doing this personally)
    Lose 28 pounds to get me to my halfway point towards goal weight.

    I am having problems with setting a 2018 fitness goal, rehabbing a shoulder injury is causing that. I think I will just start with rehabbing my shoulder so I can get back to my normal workouts.

    Log the type of workout completed not the type of weight used.

    I’m still working towards my bf% goal that I didn’t hit it 2017. I’m also adding yoga once a week to my workout rotation. I think this will aid muscle recovery and help with some of the joint paint I’ve been experiencing so I can keep pushing

    Finish Insanity Max 30. I’m in week 2. I’d also like to do a new weight lifting program afterwards.
