Today’s Topic is: Five Fitness Goals to Accomplish Before the End of  2024

Ok, 3 months left to do this:

1.Run Pain-Free

I started out the year with a sprained ankle. Then on Labor Day, I had an accident which resulted in a head injury and bruised ribs.

I’ve thrown my 1000 mile yearly goal out the window.

Now the total number of miles doesn’t matter, I just want to enjoy my runs and races without feeling any aches and pains.

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 was in town, I did go THREE times a week.

Then I got hurt and I stopped going.

It’s time to return to my workout schedule (once my rib pain disappears).

3.Do some scenic local hikes.

Not having Mondays off had me slacking off and I really do enjoy hiking.

I hope to get a few in before it snows.

4. Finish one more Half Marathon

My unofficial goal was 75 before 75.

I will turn 75 in 2028. (Yup, I’m on track.)

I’ve already completed 69 and my 70th is coming up tomorrow!!

Each half marathon I complete seems to get harder.

Due to my recent accident, this one may be the hardest… at least it’s part of a fun weekend with friends.

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

Until September, I had high hopes for this race.

I wanted redemption from last year.

Now I just want to reach the finish line!!

And get that damn medal!!

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