goal #1: get happy knees again
my knees are unhappy. and they've been unhappy since late october, and they haven't improved at all, despite not running and icing them all the bloody time.
how will i get there? rest. warmth. physiotherapy. working on hamstrings. stretching. new running shoes. insoles in my regular shoes.
time frame? start asap. significant improvement hopefully within three weeks. full happiness by may 1st. (maybe?)
goal #2: do at least 3 full unassisted pull-ups in a row
considering i can't entertain any running goals right now, this is an upper body one which should keep me entertained for a while.
how will i get there? start with assisted pull-ups, work my way down the assistance levels every week. i started at level 15 (80-something lb support), with 3 sets of 15. i will attempt to lower my level every three workouts, i.e. every week.
time frame? start asap. complete by june 1. (no clue whether that's do-able, to be honest.)
goal #3: run at least one 5k race
maybe the one i ran last year?
how will i get there? get happy knees again, start running again, slowly.
time frame? mid-september?
goal #4: run at least one 10k race
how will i get there? get happy knees again, start running again, slowly, not overdoing it.
time frame? november?
goal #5: learn how to swim proper crawl
putting my grande triathlon goals to rest for the time being gives me more time to learn how to swim properly.
how will i get there? take swimming classes.
time frame? research class by april 1st. start class by june 1, at the latest.
