goals for 2014

2013 is over, and now it’s time to see what’s in store for 2014.

I have so many interests and desires, that it’s hard to pick just a few goals. However, I do know that setting too many goals can be counterproductive. For 2014, I would like to categorize my goals and have just a few goals per category. My categories will be running, self-improvement, and reading.

Not surprisingly, these goals are very similar to last year’s. Ideally, I will do a monthly check-in to keep myself accountable.

Fitness:

• Run at least 300 miles
• Run 6-10 races
  • I’m already signed up for these races:
    • Brazen’s Coyote Hills 10K
    • Brazen’s Bay Breeze 5K
    • Surfer’s Path Capitola Half Marathon
• And I’m sure I’ll run these:
  • Silicon Valley Turkey Trot 5K
  • Santa Run Silicon Valley 5K

Self-improvement:

• Make yoga a habit
  • Practice once a week
• Finish Fluenz Spanish 2 and 3
• Improve on learning Romanian
• Focus on weight loss but don’t obsess
• Complete Music Theory book including practice exercises (book and audio CD)

Reading:

• Read at least one non-fiction book each month
• Read more classics (continued from 2013):
  • Anna Karenina
  • Lolita
  • Crime and Punishment
