in 2014 I'd like to draw more, paddle more, and spend more time having fun with the people I love. There are a couple of athletic goals (sub-90 sprint, keep up with good nutrition & body composition, go back & finish the off-road tri I broke my wrist at in 2012), but the first three seem more important.
I'd also include thinking more positively about myself, but I do very poorly at that.
1) Draw more: WIN. I draw something every day that I'm at the office and post it to a
dedicated tumblr.
2) Paddle more: WIN and FAIL. We only got out paddling once before the 4-day tour and haven't been out since, but at least the canoe touring happened.
3) Spend more time having fun: WIN. I have rode my motorcycle more, gone to more concerts, and generally been less of a stick in the mud than the last couple of years.
4) Sub-90min sprint: FAIL. Getting hit by the car sort of put a damper on that.
5) Good nutrition & body composition: I think I'm doing at least as well as last year on less training. I think I've finally got straight the best way to fuel for my particular set of issues.
6) Go back and finish the off-road tri I broke myself at in 2012: WIN. Slowest bike split of ANYONE that day, but finished happy.
7) Think more positively about myself: FAIL. Have probably heard "you're your own worst critic" from my husband more times this year than any other.
Overall, I'm calling it WIN. It's been a pretty good year so far with more fun planned!
Cheers!
