Today’s Topic is: Five Goals for the Last 1/4 of the Year
Where has the year gone? It went so fast..
2023 did not start out well for me but it definitely has improved.
Here are my goals for the last 3 months of 2023:
1. Stay healthy.
I got my flu, RSV and COVID shots so that should help.
I hope to continue being outdoors as often as possible (even with the early sunsets.)
2. Avoid over-use injuries.
IOW, I will take rest days and not overdo the miles each week.
It’s not easy to do when you are training for a big race.
Work and baby time have kept me in line so I don’t have time to run a zillion miles.
3. Continue weekly workouts at the Y.
There have been times when I stayed in bed rather than hitting the gym before work.
And yes, sleep is important.
But if I don’t go to the gym several mornings a week, I plan to cancel my membership for 2024.
Unfortunately, it is too crowded at lunch or after work.
4. Do some fun hikes.
Once the boating season is over, I’ll have time to hike on Sundays.
Also I have every other Monday off… and hopefully we will not have as much Monday rain as there has been.
5.Complete Marathon #2.
It’s not a given. It will be hard!!
You can track me:
Fingers crossed that I get this:

These are good goals! Yes, it’s always hard to train for a big race AND make sure you don’t overdo it. Sounds like your training plan is solid, and like you said you’ve got enough other things to keep you busy. I’m very excited for your marathon! I’ll definitely track you, and I’ll also be watching on TV.

All great things. I love that having your grandbaby has helped you balance things more effectively.
Our Y has weird hours. It seems like it’s most busy in mid afternoon – it’s in walking distance of some schools, so when the kids get out, the gym fills up.

These are all great goals! Staying healthy and avoiding injuries is important so you can continue to run. 🙂 No one has time to get sick or be injured.

Being outdoors as much as possible is always a win. I think you and Mo or Eugena are in the same corral. Will confirm.
