Friday 5: 2015 Goals

This post is just a little late, but I hadn't had time or energy to really process and if you're going to make goals for the year they should be ones that are well thought out in my opinion.

I'm linking up with Mar, Courtney, and Cynthia!  Be sure to stop by--so many great blogs link up every  week!  Now onto some of my goals!

1. Foster 5 Dogs.  I started fostering last April and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.  I've fostered 5 pups already, and each time it was an incredible experience.  I'm looking forward to helping more pups find their forever families this year!

Snuggles with my sweet Jessie!

2. Run a sub 2 hour half marathon and a sub 27 minute 5k.  These have been wants of mine for a long time.  I'm ready to finally chase them down!

3. Try a new recipe from the Runner's World cookbook each month.  I've tried quite a few since I was gifted it in November, but want to make sure it doesn't become another book collecting dust on my shelf.  

4. Complete the 2015 Book Challenge.  I love, love reading.  I know that I will have no problem reading 12 books this year (I've already read several), but I'm looking forward to trying some that I might not have otherwise picked.

5. Run as many J&A races as I can.  I want to say all of them, but I know that might not be a realistic goal since there are 2 in October, 1 in November, and 1 in December.  That's a lot of driving back and forth in a few months time.  I'm shooting for at least Crawlin' Crab and Surf-n-Santa (and of course Shamrock!)!  We shall see though.....  You guys know I love my J&A races!



I'm sure you guys have already written out your goals for the year, so tell me how you're doing with them!  Or, if you're a slacker like me, tell me a goal you're working on!

Have a happy, happy weekend! I'm looking forward to the good weather they've predicted!

  2. I want to sub 2 a half this year. I missed it by seconds last year. How awesome to foster pups! I bet that's so rewarding.

  3. I've already slipped up on one of my goals which was to read a book every month! Oh well, maybe I'll make up for it later this year.
    Good luck with your goals this year!
