I don't normally do a list of resolutions, but there are quite a few things I need to do this year to help hit my athletic goals. Putting them in here will make me more likely to stick to them.
1) Try to stretch every day:- to make me a stronger runner, and to avoid waking up with a sore back every day.
2) Take the stairs whenever possible:- I live on the 4th floor of a building. Taking the steps even just once a day will help my fitness.
3) Take swimming lessons: - swimming is where I can really improve in triathlons. Swimming lessons will help make me a more confident swimmer, and reduce the chance of me missing the swim cut-off time in the triathlon
4) Take a B12 vitamin every day: - as I don't eat that much meat (only fish), I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency last year. I do have a bottle of vitamin tablets but I'm pretty haphazard in actually taking them.
5) Eat a proper breakfast. NO MORE CRANBERRY MUFFINS (well, maybe just on Fridays). I'm going to try to eat more oatmeal and granola for sustained energy.
6) Bike ride 1000 miles in 6 months: - I need to make sure I'm well trained for Land's End to John O'Groats in the summer. I under-trained for RAGBRAI and really felt it in parts, where I struggled.
