2022 - Goals Update…
Feb. 9th, 2022 10:07 pmIt appears I may have developed a new hobby along the way… yo-yo’ing. Down, up, down, and as you may have guessed by now, this week I’m up again. It was a really good week, with a 76% completion rate. Hit my sleep goal 5 of 7 nights, which in turn led to a 5 for 5 on exercise. Also managed to complete the first weekly reading goal, and the first increase in exercise duration went off without a hitch. I haven’t looked closely at this week so far, but I feel like I’m on a good track, and can maybe put the yo-yo away.
So something I haven’t talked about yet is whether I have any specific goals related to exercise. Well, in fact I have three targets for this year:
1) By April 30… 60 minutes sustained indoor jogging/cycling, minimum 3 times per week. This is my base level to be able to transition to outdoor activities once the nicer spring weather kicks in.
2) By June 30… 10 km jogging twice per week, 2 hour cycling once per week. The cycling shouldn’t be an issue, but reaching the jogging goal in just two months might be a bit aggressive. Time will tell on that one.
3) On October 16… run 21 km - the distance of a half-marathon. This is the date of the Detroit Marathon, and while I’m not signing up for the actual race this year, I want to prove to myself that I can still cover the distance (in 2015 I ran it in 2 hours 43 minutes).
All of these should be achievable if I meet my daily goals. I’ll have to announce them with some degree of fanfare once the targets have been reached. =]
