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.1

Inspiring goals, everyone!
Mine is: Do more than I did in 2018 Not exactly a high bar
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.4 -
Was thinking of starting a thread on this topic. Most of mine are running goals.
2019 goals.
Get to 190.
Continue lifting 3 times a week
25 min 5K (current PB 27:33)
55 min 10K (current PB 1:01:27)
2:10 half (current PB 2:22:27)
Do a full in October. It will be my first full marathon so time is not important. It will be a PB regardless of my time5 -
Do at least one 5K and beat my 28:17 time I set with my only one to date.
Squat with at a pair of dumbbells weighing at least 40lbs each. (I'm currently doing it with a pair of 30s, so it seems reasonable that within the next 12 months, I'll be managing 40s.)5 -
Break at least one record on all 12 lifts when I compete at USAPL Nationals as a Master2 powerlifter.
Also I'd like to be ranked in the top 10 nationally at my age/weight class.10 -
Is that a newly acquired medal @Chieflrg? h.0

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!3

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!!2 -

@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.2 -
Run my first 5k. There is one for colon cancer here in I think April and I have been a wanting to do it ever since my mom survived her cancer a few years ago.5
-
Go to the gym 12 times a month to get my $20 reward from my insurance plan. May seem like a small goal but it’s where I’m at!12

Rock climbing: Get lead certified. Move up a full grade in both sport and bouldering.
Running: Do my first 19k in February and my first half marathon in November with no walking!3 -
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.3 -
Two marathons two weeks apart (Brighton and london)
Run 1000miles (or if I manage that early enough in the year 2019km)
Continue to improve my speed and strength1 -
Goal: 160lb bench (current max=150)
Goal: 225lb squat (current max=210)
Goal: 300lb deadlift...1
