I’ve been putting off this post not because I was afraid to post it but because I really wanted to take some time to confirm what I actually wanted to do this year. It’s not that different from last year but it is at the same time. Last years goals can be found here and then what I accomplished here.
Random
- Yoga 3x week
- Cross train more – strong body (not weight focused, not fitness competition focused just stronger all over).
- Stretch more after running / working out (avoid injury)
- Take a pottery class *new interest*
- Take a photography class/course *has been on my bucket list for 5-6 years*
Family
- Date nights / lunches with my husband
- More patience with my girls
- Play outside *all year round*
- Family adventures together
Blog
- Post 3-4 times a week *that’s it…keeping it simple*
- Share blog on my personal FB page more *eek! But not this post – ha ha.
- Continue to write for Thinking Outside The Sandbox – Family
Running
- Run 5k by the 5th of each month of February to May Challenge.
- Run a sub 25 minute 5 k (currently 27:06)
- Run a sub 52 minute 10 k (currently 55:58)
- Run a sub 2 hour Half Marathon (currently 2:05:10)
- Run a FULL Marathon – holy shit, I can’t believe I wrote that on the blog as it’s been going through my thoughts for weeks now…okay months!
- Total mileage for the year: 1250 kilometers.
Awesome!
And now it’s on the blog….published.
I’m ready.
This shit is about to get real!
What are your 2015 goals or resolutions for the year?
Anything BIG you want to do in 2014?
How are your goals/resolutions going so far?
Piper's Run 
Love it! First, yes, if you can run a half you can run a full. You are more than ready for that challenge. And the training for it will push you over 1250k on the year. Embrace it, embrace the strength and the lifestyle that comes with it and all of the rest of your goals will fall into place. Well, I should say “embrace it and blog about it”. ha! Speed follows endurance. For me, getting my 5k times below 26 minutes was really hard. But once the endurance (and consistent training) falls into place, the speed will come. Good luck!
My goals for the year just published this morning too. 6-10 marathon+ races and getting a 50 miler done are the big ones.
Thanks for your advice 🙂 I will make sure to blog about it!
Wow, sounds like you have a great year ahead of you. PS – where do you blog? Would love to read your goals.
Yaay for having a marathon goal. No better way to do it than to put it on the list. Pick one with good timing so that you can train during the best months for you. All your goals are great! I’m always too chicken to put my goals out there.
It’s kinda scary! Yes, no better way then to share it on here…that’s for sure! I’m kinda thinking about a spring one which means I should be starting my training this week – eek! If not, I have my eye on one in the fall that I’ve wanted to do for a while now. I was chicken too – until today 🙂
What?! A full? You are so ready and I am so excited for you. I love the training process of the full marathon. I think you will really enjoy. I loved all of your goals. Such a smart and positive look out on…..everything!
Ahhh!!!!!! Yes, a full! I’m glad you think I’m ready for it! Now I just have to commit to which race and a training plan – oh good god!
Come run Chicago with us 😉
Awesome goals! Any idea what marathon you want to run?? Go get it!!!
I have a few in mind: One that is 18 weeks away but flat. Another that is 19 weeks away and fairly hilly (have run the half before) and one in the Fall. Any advice?
Great goals, Anna! I hope to surivive my 3rd marathon, as well as write more, cook more, and take more pictures! 🙂
Thanks Michelle! 3rd marathon! At least you will get to run it with your sister 🙂
For sure! She ran my first with me!!
YAY!!! So glad you decided to take the plunge on running a full! It was my favourite part of running so far!!! I’m looking forward to seeing how your training goes! Congrats on an awesome choice 🙂
Ha ha…I’m scared!
You can totally do a marathon! If I can, anyone can! I used to hate running more than 800m 😉
I like your goals! They are similar to mine 🙂
Fingers crossed! I feel like I can do one but it’s going to be a good challenge. Have you decided on STWM ?
Great goals! And it look likes we run similar paces!
Woohooo!!! Marathon! Very exciting!
Terrifying!
I’m loving all your goals, especially the marathon! How exciting! It was around this time last year that I decided I wanted to run a full, too. Once you know that feeling of training for and completing a marathon, nothing is ever the same! It’s hard, all of it, but I have yet to meet a marathoner who regrets crossing that finish line.
Keep us posted! Look forward to hearing all about it this year!
Will do! Training might start ASAP!
AWESOME big plans and goals. Excited for you and cannot wait to see how it all comes together. I know you are gonna ROCK 2015, Anna.
I was hoping to keep them simple plans but I guess they are kinda big! It’s going to be a fun ride that’s for sure!
We have many of the same goals! Specifically breaking two hours in the half (my PR is 2:04) and running a full marathon. Happy New Years!
WE CAN DO IT! Happy 2015!
Marathon – very exciting. Now that ots out there publically, theres no turning back! Good luck! Your 2015 looks like its going to be awesome!
It’s scary and exciting all at the same time! I know, there is absolutely NO going back now. Happy 2015!
Those are great resolutions. I haven’t made any. I have found that they’re not really for me. I make small goals all the time but setting one big bunch at the start of the year is just too much. I am going to continue to aim for a minimum of 4 workouts per week though.
It’s funny, I have a hard time with the word resolutions and I think that’s why I used the word goals. They are goals I want to work towards not a habit I want to break or make. I like small goals too! Working out 4 times a week is a pretty good goal to work towards and I’m sure you’ll do it no problem Abbi!
I already do… it’s just making sure I don’t slack because it’s so tempting! I argue with myself every day!

I’m not sure how else to say it: these are all amazing and I love them! Can’t wait to read all about it (especially the marathon)!
Thanks Amy! Will be sure to blog about it!
A full marathon? That is so exciting! You will have such a great year – can’t wait to read all about it.
Great goals! Yay! Have fun this year training for the marathon! Usually that’s more fun than the actual race 🙂
Oh God! ha ha!
What a great list! I had a sub-25 5K goal a couple years ago myself. It was the most challenging running goal I’ve had to date, but I made it. Good luck to you on all of them!
