Goals for 2013! :)

This year, I have decided to set some very specific goals for myself. I usually just generalize my goals (like I'll work out more and I'll blog more) and then I don't hold myself accountable and I end up slacking. In the back of my mind I still catch myself saying "I probably won't accomplish most of these anyway", but maybe, just maybe, if I actually write them down and post them here for all to see, I might actually surprise myself! :) I'm going to try to keep up monthly with what goals I have accomplished and what I need to work on.  Here goes nothing!  
1~ Run 13 Races in 2013! Jill from Fitness, Health, & Happiness put up a challenge to run 13 races in 2013! You can pick either a specific distance, trail runs, or a mix of distances! I chose the mix, because I don't want to hurt myself. I do have a goal of 1 half a month, but like I said... I don't want to hurt myself and I'm not sure what the hot summer months will hold for me.

I already signed up for these 3:

 The Moms RUN This Town Winter Runnerland Virtual Half in January.

Cowtown Half in Fort Worth in February.

Dallas Rock N Roll Half in March.

I'm still trying to decide about a race in April for m 30th Birthday!

And I want to run the San Antonio Rock N Roll half as well, but we will have to see once it gets a bit closer. I'm hoping to do a few more virtual halfs as well. That way I can do it whenever I am able, and they are usually cheaper lol. 

I can't wait to see how many halfs I can do in 2013! :)

2~ Run at least 3 times a week.

Whether it's a mile or 10, I need to run.

3~ Continue to become faster with my 5K time and my every day running.

I tend to go at a 14 min/mile with my stroller (12 min/mile without) and I don't think that is acceptable for me. 

I need to work on my stamina and become faster.

I think speed will also come with weight loss. :)

4~ Workout with my Sandbag at least 3 times a week.

Cross training is important, but boring to me.

I actually like to use my sandbag, but I need to do it more often!

5~ Do a #plankaday. Every day.

This one I will have to make it a weekly goal as well.

6~ Lose 5lb a month.

Yes, this is a bit of a reach, but you never know! :)

7~ Eat at least one more veggie every. single. day.

8~ Eat at least one more piece of fruit every day.

I love fruit, so this one should be easy.

9~ Limit sweet tea to one time a week.

I haven't had a soda since March, but sweet tea has been my weakness.

I will eventually say no to all sweet tea, but I think once a week is attainable for me right now! :)

10~ Blog 3 times a week.

This might mean that it will be a quick one, but I want to get on and at least check in with all of my blogger friends! 

11~ Do all of the #GirlsGoneSporty Challenges!

I absolutely love that I am a part of such a wonderful group and I want to participate as much as I can!

12~ Do even more for my Moms RUN This Town ladies!

I feel like I haven't done enough with them or for them this year.

13~ Go to bed earlier.

This is a hard one for me since I have a toddler and after she goes to bed, I finally get my "me" time. I end up staying awake until 1 and 2 in the morning finishing laundry, doing dishes (again), or finally being able to just sit in front of the computer and zone out.

There are my 13 goals for 2013! 

(yes I did that on purpose lol)

I hope you will all follow me on my journey as I try to accomplish each of these goals this year! :)

Now it's time to make 2013 even better!

Happy New Year Friends!!!! :)
