    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.

    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!

    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.

    Is that a newly acquired medal @Chieflrg? h.

    No, I'm too lazy to take a pic of my most recent one. They look identical. :D

    I have a 1/2 marathon in February. I need to build my climbing skills on my bike. I want to do a mountain ride through the California Redwoods in July.

    I have a few goals this year...
    1. A running friend and I have decided to try to do 1 race(5k or longer ) every month. We have planned to do the Shamrock Half, Highbridge Half, and Richmond Half Marathon so far as a few of the races . I’m hoping for a PR.
    2. Lose some weight.
    3. Build endurance

    Big goal: complete a Spartan Sprint with my husband.

    Smaller goal: rehab my hip impingement so I can train pain free (that’s already going in the right direction!) and avoid surgery. To achieve small goal: be consistent with mobility and flexibility work. I’m horrible at using my precious gym time for this...so I’m trying an at home program.

    Small goal 2: do an unassisted chin up. I’d love to do a pull up, but I’m starting with the chin up bc I’m so close!

    Cardio goal: do at least one 5k with my two older boys, and one on my own to beat my personal best.

    @GottaBurnEmAll , I’m in the same boat looking for a flexibility/mobility program that’s not yoga. I’m looking to rehab my hip, but also to gain more ankle mobility and shoulder stability (and general flexibility) so I can progress in my lifting injury-free. I’m on the 2nd week of GMB Elements course (and starting their Flexibility one) and so far I’m liking it. Already my hips aren’t popping every time I lift my legs up to put pants in :lol: Anyway, something to look into.

    Be able to run 9 minute miles again for at least 3 miles. I've lost speed and strength over the past couple of years or so.

    Hoping to do some yoga/stretching everyday in 2019! It's a big goal (for me at least) but I've already started working towards it. Can't wait to see how it changes me, mentally and physically! 💪🏻

    To run at least one race (5K, 10K or half marathon) every month in 2019.

    To really dial in my nutrition (aka way less sugar!) to get back to my goal weight.

    To ramp up my strength training so I'm ready for my Spartan Sprint in November! I'm so excited for this -- checking off a bucket list item. :D

    With a baby due in February, my main goal is to get my squat, deadlift, and bench back up to where they were before pregnancy and hopefully, beyond.
    Also work back up to 6 days a week at the gym.

    I have never benched 3 plates on each side in my life. I never really did squats, until I started last december, I never really ever deadlifted at all either. I started doing all of that in 2018.

    Here is my profile

    197 lbs, down from about 215lbs last December
    a hair over 6'

    Here are my 2019 goals.

    Bench 315 lbs
    Squat 350 lbs
    Deadlift 450 lbs

    See my abs??? :wink:

    Bike my age in miles - did that until 2018 when an injury or two kind of derailed it(no pun intended). I have 2 multi-day bike trips coming in NZ in Feb and and indoor rowing race in CA in late Feb. I will have my first self-guided bike trip in the San Juan Islands probably at the end of August. That's all I have on deck at the moment.
