2022 H&F goals

[melmel48]

Happy New Year!

Do you have any H&F goals for 2022? I want to run/walk every street in my city! My friend helped me figure out City Strides last night and I am excited for the motivation. 

Share yours!

No goals other than to have a final remedy to the heart surgery complication. Til then I'll keep exercising within my restrictions.

[Wines Not Whines]

Stay healthy, don’t get injured, and have fun.

To actually exercise again after a year of only hiking once a week (for various reasons). I missed being on this board!

I am recovering from Covid currently, so it can only improve from here!

I think starting out not being able to workout as hard as I am used to because of Covid is a good lesson for me. I am grateful my body is fighting this off easily thanks to my health and vaccines, but I have had to take it easy. REALLY easy. I have been doing yoga and tried a few easy cycling classes in the past 2 weeks, but its very humbling.

My goals are to

1. Embrace where I am at, not where I was at any given time
2. Hit 15k minutes on Peloton this year

Welcome back!

1. Spring half (signed up for one in April)
2. Fall full (TBD, but eyeing Twin Cities unless I somehow get into NYC via lottery)

[lilypad1126]

1. Early Spring 10k
2. Late Spring half
3. Fall Marathon (Chicago)

But over and above all of that, stay healthy and injury free, and figure out a way to enjoy my training in what will surely be a humid and hot as hell summer/fall.

breezy8407 We all hope you are feeling better!

By God I am going to run a marathon this year (it's the fifth year I've said this)

[mswax]

1. Bring weight training back into my routine (haven't done any since March 2020)
2. Thru hike ~150 miles of the NH AT

[lightbulbsun]

1. Prioritize stretching and increase flexibility
2. Continue regular strength training

I'm so bad at putting aside time to stretch, and it's becoming a problem as I'm getting older. I've been having a lot of lower back pain and general muscle tightness, so I'm going to try to do some stretching every night before bed.

copying this one from mswax, verbatim!

2. uhhhh, I dont totally know honestly. I've got a pretty good slate of events on the calendar already but haven't thought through what's my A race, or what my goals are. i'm signed up for 4 triathlons (1 sprint, 1 olyish, 2 actualy oly's) and a trail ragnar. And a short trail race next month. And probably some other running stuff in oct/nov/dec since that's my prime run season. And maybe a swim event. So that's a lot of stuff. But this year is going to be weird because MH is signed up for his first 70.3 and after I did one in 2021 we came to the firm conclusion we can't BOTH train for a race that big at the same time. So I need to keep my training shorter/easier so that we can flex the family schedule around his peak training as needed.

I might come back and edit this once I have a real answer because I like to look up the old threads year to year.

Tipping my toe back in….

My only goal at this point is to finish a half on 5/1 feeling good.

It will be my third half, the first one I signed up to run because I hated my job and needed something to focus on. I then got a new job about six weeks before the race and my training fell apart. I finished but it was a mess and not fun.

My second half was the following spring and I had a great training cycle and I felt strong the whole race.

Well now it’s 6 years, two kids and… you know…. later and I’ve decided now is the time. Things are very different this time around.

I would love to see weekly check ins (of any kind) again on the board! I remember them keeping me very motivated last time.

[osulori]

1. strength training of some sort 1-2x/week. Maybe more but...baby steps, right?
2. I would love to do at least one half marathon this year-my last one was October 2018. Preferably one in spring and one in the fall like I used to but we'll see if I can stay injury free that long.
3. Eat at least one vegetable per day This is something I really need to work on because I am not a great veggie eater but I know they're good for me and if I take the time to prepare them the way I like I might actually eat them.

I'd like to qualify for Boston again, 3rd time is a charm right?
50 half marathons by 50. I need to do 4-5 a year to hit this goal.
Stretch/yoga at least 10 minutes a day 5 days a week.
