    I want to start running. I usually do workouts at home mainly beachbody workouts. My work had a fitness walk and I quite enjoyed it so I want to fit this into my schedule maybe twice a week.

    Inspiring goals, everyone!

    Mine is: Do more than I did in 2018 :grimace: Not exactly a high bar :wink:

    It's not a high bar but it's a reachable bar. I'm well acquainted with situations where the only the only logical goal is, "do something more/less." I know for me, it's often easier to achieve success when there isn't a set number to what that thing is. Not because the bar is so low, but because there's less pressure.

    To get back to lifting. I have struggled this year so much with joint pain.
    To walk up Snowdon in wales in the summer.

    Not much by some standards but I am so unfit after nearly two years living with arthritis.

    I’d like to train to run a 10k sometime in 2019 and start working on my swimming so I can eventually do a triathlon. I don’t care about being fast. I just want to be able to finish!

    Do the Rachel Carson homestead challenge (17 mile hike in one day), train for the full Rachel Carson challenge in 2020, get my century (bike 100 miles in one day), backpack/hike/camp more, as long as the testing lines up I am hoping to test and get my orange belt in krav maga. I may hike the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail but it will depend on if my husband and I can plan it so it doesn't eat all of his PTO. Or I might just do it on my own.

    @MikePTY meant to tell you that I recently passed the yellow belt test. You got this!!

    @skram01 Wooohoo! Congrats! The next tests are in January at my school, but I'm not scheduled, because I was new when they did the scheduling. My hope is I can test up for Yellow Belt during the next round of testing. I suppose there is an outside chance I could go for Orange by the end of 2019 but I would have to improve a lot between now and then. I'd be plenty happy with my Yellow.

    Happy nights in the Paysayten Wilderness. Stands on more challenging summits. Ski as much as possible. Bike in new places. Swim in alpine lakes.

    I'd really like to start climbing again but I don't know how reasonable that is, so it's not a goal so much as a hope.
