Summer 2011 Goals

This weekend I’m in Lancaster, Pennsylvania visiting some of Chris’ family. Unfortunately I won’t have Internet access, so I will tell you all about it when I get back!

Anyway, the Summer Solstice is on Tuesday, and it will be officially summer! Hurray! Last year I wrote up some goals for Summer 2010, and I wanted to do something similar this year.

Summer 2011 Goals

Personal

• Continue reading books for fun. I had a goal to read 40 books in 2011 but I’m way behind. Right now I’m enjoying “Ape House” by Sara Gruen based on Julie’s book recommendation and I’m loving it so far! I can’t put it down. 
• Improve my photography skills. I’ve always been really interested in photography  so I’m going to learn to better utilize my little point and shoot!
• Go camping! Looks like we’ll be going camping for at least one weekend in August! I also want to spend the weekend without any electronic devices. Let’s see if we can make it happen!
• Spend as much time outside as possible! I complain about the weather 24/7 in the winter so I don’t want the warm days to go to waste!

Health & Fitness

• Continue with 15K training and PR the Boilermaker in July.
• Run a strong half marathon in August.
• Figure out how to run trails without falling on my face.
• Continue strength training with body pump classes alternated with yoga.
• Hike more. Last year I wanted to do a bunch of hiking but sadly that didn’t happen. Hopefully we can squeeze some in this summer.



What are some of your Summer goals this year?
