Fit Five Friday: 5 fitness goals for 2024

We’ve got FIVE incredible co-hosts My First 5K and More, Running With Attitude, Run Laugh Eat Pie, Runs with Pugs, and me for another Fit Five Friday link-up!  This week’s topic is “5 fitness goals for 2024.”  Feel free to write about this or any fitness topic you’d like.

⭐ Run consistently – I am not going to set a mileage goal.  I only want to be able to run.  I have a few races that I am already signed up for and others that I plan to sign up for too.

⭐ Take care of myself – I need to make myself a priority.  I cannot take care of others or do the things I have to do if I am not doing well or feeling well.  There have been too many instances in which I have prioritize work instead of going for a run, going to bed early, resting, etc.  

⭐ Drink more water – I hate having to always go to the bathroom but drinking water is important.  Coffee and beer counts too, right?

⭐ Get enough sleep – I get cranky if I don’t get enough sleep.  Luckily my mom and my sister understand that and “let” me go to bed at a decent time in the evening.  Sometimes I take a nap on the weekends too.

⭐ Focus on recovery – I am bad with this.  I have the necessary tools (massage gun, foam roller, stick) but don’t take advantage of them.  I recently began training for the New York City Half Marathon and my legs were sore for days – it hurt to walk.  I began using The Stick and wasn’t too sore after my run.

The topic for next week: Runfessions with Marcia.  We hope you’ll link up with us!
