goals

goal progress!

/ Brienna / 1 Comment

Last night, after reading until 1:30am, I finally completed Les Miserables! And that takes care of the “easy” goal for reading, but I feel this one was almost too easy, considering I finished 70% or so of the book in 2012! I will post a review shortly, probably not until later this week, after i’ve seen the move. I might do a combo review of the book and the movie at the same time, so stay tuned!

As for running, I think I should have made a goal to “run faster” but I think that will come with proper training.

Today’s run
distance: 4.25 miles
time: 55:30
speed: 4.6 mph (yes, I am slow!)

Roxy and I ran up past the 49ers stadium construction and down the Guadalupe River Trail.  This pic is not from today, but a recent picture from a morning run last month.

goals for 2013

I’ve been meaning to start blogging again, and since it’s January, it seems like the perfect time to kick myself and start writing.  Rather than writing an introduction, I was going to start off by writing about my new year’s resolutions. But then I thought about how resolutions never seem to last past January.  So, this year, let’s call them goals and not resolutions.  Aren’t resolutions sort of made to be broken, anyway?  It will be a lot more motivating to me to have goals! 
 
  • Resume blogging!
    • ha! this one is already done!
  • Run more miles than 2012 (314)
    • easy: 315
    • stretch: 500
  • Run more races than 2012 (5)
    • easy: 6
    • stretch: 10
  • Make progress on learning Spanish
    • easy: complete Fluenz Spanish level 1 (only 1-2 lessons left)
    • stretch: complete Fluenz Spanish levels 1, 2, AND 3
  • Make progress on learning Romanian
    • easy: ??
    • stretch: ??
  • Read more of the “classics”
I am pretty certain that I can complete the miles, races, classics, and possibly Spanish (certainly the easy goals, at least).  Romanian, on the other hand, seems to be the thing I’m least likely to do — I’ll have to push myself.
