FFF: Five Fitness Goals for the Last Half of 2024


Today’s Topic is: Five Fitness Goals for the Last Half of 2024

1.Run 600 More Miles

That will give me over 100o Miles for the year.

It’s not the number that is important but it means that I’ve run consistently and haven’t been injured or sick.

It will definitely be harder this year since I started out the year with a sprained ankle.

2022 (not 2023)

2. Continue my YMCA workouts.

I started going to the gym in March of last year (for free) and then officially joined that July.

Being honest, I don’t enjoy working out but everyone seems to think it is important.

When I’m in town, I do go THREE times a week.

I plan to keep it up.

3. Vary my runs. Do some “drills.”

I’m a creature of habit or I am almost always pressed for time.

I just run. No watch. No speedwork. No hill repeats.

This could possibly give me some speed back.

4. Finish two more Half Marathons

My unofficial goal is 75 before 75.

I will turn 75 in 2028.

I’ve already completed 68 and have registered for TWO more this year.

5. Complete the NYC Marathon for the 3rd time.

Third time is a charm?

No.

But 4 of my local friends are running it and

I need redemption, they say.

Hopefully I can end my marathon racing on a good note.

YES, THIS IS MY LAST NYC MARATHON!!

Happy Running! What are your fitness goals for the rest of the year?

  1. I want to do another marathon (I’m “sitting” at nine right now…). Nothing has caught my attention, though, not am I feeling any immediacy in looking for one, LOL. Good luck with NYC #3!
