Goals - mid year check in



The year is half over and I'm wondering how I'm doing on my goals.

#1 Stay Healthy. Do what I love while avoiding injury as best I can.
Working on this one. First injury of the year now. Resting so it doesn't get worse. 

Classes to try———I don't really care about trying new classes as much, and I've tried most of the classes I'm interested in at Ramsey
1.  Try an Orange Theory class
2. Try a Fuel yoga class.
3. Try more classes at Ramsey—DONE
4. Maybe try swimming (not necessarily a class) 
5. Take a yoga workshop on something, like hand balancing or inversions.

Been doing speed work since April.

Running goals. (I added some since December)
1. Run a 10k or half the Chick Fil-A half marathon—DONE
2. Still would like to run a 5k under 23 minutes—In progress
3. Look into group work or morning speed work—DONE
4. Botanical garden trail without walking - DONE (super slow pace but it counts!)
5. 10k at 8 minute mile pace - DONE
6. More 5ks? Can I run on the road? In progress
7. More Strava records — Ongoing though I've been varying my pace more, slower easy runs, and faster track work instead of all the same pace.

Have run 3 10ks. 

Tumbling goals: on the back burner for the moment. I'm taking a break from gymnastics.
1. Connect fly springs. Getting there. Better than last year, but not quite.
2. Walk overs. Not there yet. Oh well.
3. Touch my feet to my head. Stopped working on this.
4. 10 second handstand. Maybe? Definitely can do 7 seconds.
5. Practice handstands at home. (Daily?) Haha. Didn't do this.

General goals
1. Conquer the Ninja course at Rush. I got to the third ring or so. And then they got a whole new ninja course.
2. Try another flying trapeze place. Bonus: Get my cutaway! Tried trapeze at two new rigs!
3. Get a body composition test done. DONE. UGH. SO INACCURATE.
4. Stay on budget with fitness clothes. (Spend less money at Lululemon).
     Now I spend all my money on running shoes ;)

I feel like my goals have really changed since I wrote them in December. Tumbling is on the back burner. I'm a slow learner and not especially good at gymnastics. I have made almost no progress in the last year. I like the trampoline park, but there are too many kids, so it's hard to go and have fun. And while I love flying trapeze, I feel like my weekends are TOO busy when I add that in.

My mini goals (STAY HEALTHY)
1) Run a 5k under 23 minutes (same goal as above)
2) Mile to 6:30
3) 10k in 48 flat
4) Find a running coach. I think I really need someone to talk to about running, goals, when to back off or push and what to do.
5. Volunteer at a race
I've been debating running the AthHalf this fall. And I think maybe I'll volunteer and not run it.
