So I got a little lazy at the end of my 43rd year, but I started a post about my goals, so here it is:
I said in my post about my goals for my 43rd year that this was going to be my healthiest year yet. Unfortunately, I didn't have the greatest year, both mental and physical health-wise.
1. Eat/drink one sweet a week or fewer.
I gave up even tracking this one after six months. Laura said I should have made a more reasonable goal of something like one sweet a day. If I'd have made that goal I would have reached it. But, aiming for one sweet a week I scored around 10%.
2. Drink one alcoholic beverage per week or fewer.
Check!
3. Run a marathon.
I ran the Twin Cities Marathon and raised some money for Team World Vision. I didn't run faster than last year and my motivation and execution of training didn't go so hot, but in the marathon itself I ran way better than I thought I would. A score of 100% here.
4. Break 20 minutes in the 5K.
I ran a 20:42 in an Eagan parkrun, so I made it 97% on this one.
5. Run over 1,111 miles.
I've been run/walking for a couple years now, so it's hard to say how much I've "run." I've also been doing a lot of walking to prevent injury, so I decided to modify this goal (it's my blog, I can do whatever I want) and take my total number of miles counted by steps this year and divide by two. That came to 2,311.4 miles which, divided by two is is 1,155.5. I'm only going to give myself 100% instead of 1.04% due to my "cheating."
6. Hit race weight by May and stay there.
We were moving and our scale got put away, but I didn't hit my goal by May and I've been eating a lot, so I'm going to have to give myself a zero on this one.
7. Write 14 blog posts.
Not quite. 86%
8. Average one hour of strength and mobility per week.
Sixty-seven percent on this one.
So my total for my 43rd year comes to 67%. Not a great year, but my goals were lofty, so I'm OK with my results.
Be well.
