What are your goals for 2019?

My Next KW Race is back for 2019!

Every month in 2019, I will be giving out free entries to great Run Waterloo events. Check this blog on a monthly basis for your chance to win!

The January contest

Each year many make a promise to themselves to try to do one or many things differently during the upcoming calendar year.

Resolutions come in many different forms. Some people plan to start doing something, while others have a bad habit they hope to stop such as eating too much sugar.

This year I kept it simple and I gave myself 3 New Year’s Resolutions or as I like to call them goals…

Last year I focused on having both personal and professional goals. I am happy to report I was able to (for the most part) stick to those goals!

So this year I am making a promise to start, stop and continue.

  • My start… focusing on carving out time to make sure I complete the necessary exercises required to repair some of my lingering injuries.
  • My stop… using my phone during family time. With two young kids I know they are watching everything I do. I want to be present in the moment with them.
  • My continue… part way through 2018 I got a new watch that counts my steps. I plan to continue my streak of achieving my step goal every single day.

Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? If so, what are they for 2019?

    I’m starting 2019 with a 100 day challenge. A minimum of 1 mile per day for 100 consecutive Days

    Resolution for this year is to beat my kms from last year, and do it running with a smile

      Love it! What was the 2018 total?

    My New Years running goals were to join a new running group (H+P) – check – and push myself to be better by surrounding myself with inspiring (and faster) people and trying new things and workouts.

      Great goals! I’ll see you out at H+P!

    My New Year’s goals are to run at least 3 new PB’s this year, and to travel to some new places.

    • Michael and Laura Hewitson January 15, 2019 6:24 pm

      Awesome! Any goal races in mind already?

      • Josh Lucrezi January 19, 2019 9:32 pm

        Thanks for the reply! My only goal race so far is the Chilly Half on March 3! I’ll add the Forest City Road Races 10km to that list if I’m not travelling during that time.

    I started a full-time business in fall of 2018, so my goal for this year is to balance a successful business with time with family and friends.

    • Michael and Laura Hewitson January 15, 2019 6:23 pm

      Thanks Meghan! Great goal!

    Here are my 3 Rs:
    Rebuilt – Work through the injuries to get back running at peak performance
    Run – Consistently improve
    Rest – Very important not to have to do the first goal 🙂

    • Michael and Laura Hewitson January 15, 2019 6:23 pm

      Awesome! Thanks Marius!

  • DOUG ROBERTS January 15, 2019 7:39 pm

    Don’t get lazy and run regularly throughout the year !
    Break the 30m/60m barrier on the 5k/10k runs !
    Be careful not to get injured along the way !

    • Michael and Laura Hewitson January 16, 2019 12:49 pm

      Thanks Doug! Awesome goals!
