2015 in review and 2016 goals
Last year I started writing down my goals for each year. My thought was that writing them down would be more meaningful than just thinking “I should try and do X this year”. So I want to take a quick look at how I did and talk about 2016 as well.
2015 Goals
Run a marathon
I signed up for, and attempted to run, the Twin Cities Marathon this fall. I knew going into it that I wouldn’t run the whole thing. My training schedule fell apart after the first month. While I could list all of the reasons why (Our 2nd kid was on the way, work was crazy, etc) there really are no excuses. In the month before the marathon I seriously picked up training again but it wasn’t enough. My new goal became to run half which I was able to do and I considered it a huge win for me. Having never run a race that big, I was a little hesitant about it but the experience was AWESOME and I’m definitely keeping this one on the goal list for 2016.
