A few years ago, I wrote a blog post of my bucket list for things I wanted to do before I turned 23. I accomplished a lot of those things, but not all of them.
I've been focused on my health this year. Today, I'm writing a list of 17 things I want to do to improve my health by January 1, 2018 and I'm really aiming to cross every one of these off!
17 in 2017
- Run 365 miles
- Run a 5k
- Run a half marathon
- Burn 2,000 calories in one day
- Hike the Y without breaks
- Go a month without sugar
- Go two weeks with a 9:30 bedtime
- Go two weeks without hitting snooze
- Go two weeks with a 5:30 wakeup
- Do a cartwheel
- Banish 20 pounds
- Do a handstand push-up
- Learn how to properly meditate
- Take 50,000 steps per week
- Go two weeks without processed food
- Be able to touch my toes (Beery flexibility is virtually zero)
- Go 5 days only eating raw foods
I've gotten a lot of really awesome running advice, but I'm always open to more. I used to be a distance runner back between 2012 and 2014, but I stopped after I injured my knee. I picked back up for a very short time in 2015, but I never kept it up long enough to truly condition back into distance running.
I started on my goal to run 365 miles on this past Wednesday, July 5! It's roughly about 14.43 miles per week to meet the deadline. I was able to mark off 15.50 miles, so I only have 349.50 miles left! It sucked, so pray for me!
I registered for the Haunted Half Marathon in Provo on October 28. Kind of nervous for that one!
