After much deliberation with myself and talking to friends I've decided that these are my goals for 2017. I realize May might be considered a little late, but I think it's perfect. I've had time to listen to my body and hear what it wants.
I have already shown myself that I am dedicated to running by walk/running the Austin-American Statesman Capitol 10k and making my goal time of 2 hours or less and I made it in 1 hour and 57 minutes.
I have a relationship with the people at my gym and can already tell that working out has made me stronger. My boyfriend and I cleared a decent sized flower bed and planted two Salvia plants and a Succulent in about 3 hours.
Tangible Milestones
-Run most, if not the whole, Deutschen Pfest 5k, and every 5k after
-Build and plant a 4X4 sq. foot garden with my Boyfriend in our front yard.
-Be able to run a whole 10k
Continuous Betterment
-Continue to go to group fitness and get stronger and faster through exercise and nutrition
-Run once a week until I am stronger. Until then I don't beleive running anymore will help me in my goals.
-Not focus on weight loss as a goal
-Keep better track of my finances
Blog Goals
-Post a #donthatetheshake post at least once a month
-Post a post workout/run selfie to social media once a week
-Write a post to this blog once a week
I have even bigger goals than these, but I have learned that I do best with small well thought out goals first.

All these things have made me happy and proud of myself for doing. They have also given me a hunger for more of the same.
