In honor of the (almost) beginning of February, and since I totally checked off my January Goals early this month, I'm joining the DC Trifecta Friday Five and Fitting it All In's Five Things Friday Link Ups with five goals for February. Oh and all of these goals fit into my 2014 goals and theme of growth!
1. Show up to a pick up volleyball game
In the two weeks I've been in Santa Barbara, I've managed to find several weekly pick up volleyball groups. But, I have yet to actually attend one. And, as I mentioned before, finding groups to meet people is easy but you can't make friends unless you actually show up. So I'm going to show up this month!
I bought a used bike on Craigslist! And after getting it back from a tune up at the bike shop I have ridden it...once. Home from the bike shop. My work is only 2.5 miles away from my house so I bought the bike for commuting. So yea I'm going to actually use it to bike to work at least once a week.

2. Bike to work once a week

3. Try a new fitness class
I'm thinking pilates on the reformer or hot yoga. Or almost any kind of yoga really. I've still only been to two yoga classes ever.

4. Run 35 miles
Still got to get to that Run This Year goal. I ran 32.88 miles in January so I've got 332.12 to go!
5. Phone my friends
I've been doing an ok job keeping in touch with my friends back home via text and email, but haven't figured out how to get precious voice time in with the time difference. Must work on that this month!
Q: What's your approach to goal setting? What are some of your current goals?

I'm terrible about calling people. You really do have to be intentional -- great goals for the month!
ReplyDeleteThanks Courtney! I know, it's so hard and definitely something to work on!
DeleteI love all these goals! Especially the volleyball and biking to work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Trying to go to volleyball super early tomorrow morning so we'll see how it goes :)
DeleteI haven't been on a bike in so long, but if I ever live somewhere that biking wouldn't be absolutely terrifying I am definitely going to try again! :-)
ReplyDeleteYea I totally understand that. There are tons of bike lanes here and I still get scared!
DeleteI love your goals - trying a new class and riding your bike! I love biking to/from work, but I live too far to do it all the way. I have to drive part-way first.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome dedication to drive part way and then bike! I'm not super good at commuting via bike yet--I get so nervous! Any tips?
DeleteI had to leave some things at work to be able to streamline what I bring with me in a backpack. I got a flashing bike light and a reflective vest to wear while biking (and running).
DeleteThanks for the advice Cynthia! I have a front and back bike light, but riding at night still makes me nervous so I'm trying to leave work while it's still light out.
DeleteI eventually want to join a kickball team again!
ReplyDeleteI want to do kickball too! I think my work might be putting together a team for the summer and I'm so excited :)
DeleteGreat goals! Isn't a short commute the best? I went from a 60 mile (one way) commute to 1.1 miles - I feel so much happier and healthier :)
ReplyDeleteLove the someecard about yoga pants, so true!
Oh man 60 miles one way! So glad you don't have to do that any more!
DeleteBoy - I set some major doozy goals for this year but will take it one day at a time. Rather one month at a time. I have a half marathon goal, 2,014 KM Run This Year goal and reduce body fat to 20% goal. Yeah that one is my biggest challenge. I'm just trying to simply do better.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome goals! Can't wait to read all about it :)
