Keeping it in the context of triathlon training.

Mine is to strength train 1-3 times per week and log it!

What's yours?

    @Tim, yep right there with you and to ingrain it into my daily life. The time has come that it is needed to compliment and battle the test of time battle scars !

    1. Run every day. Realistically, 300+ days would meet this goal, considering travel and vacation plans.
    2. Qualify in Miami 11-13 for ITU 2017 LC WC in Penticton BC
    3. Improve over last year's finish in USAT NC Oly, @ Omaha, 8-13.
    4. No self-induced injuries or crashes.

    Ha, well some of these looked more like goals than resolutions but I looked up the definition of resolution and looks like goals fit into that definition ! Its all good.... Just trying to get people to think about doing something different this year, maybe something they have been thinking of doing just never making it happen, like for me the strength training...

    @Al - definitely no crashes/injuries

    @Jay - logging all food is one of the best , I did consider this as well and glad to see someone posted it, I do find this very difficult to do with my diet (vegan and very variable) but I did it last year for a couple months and learned a lot... I think many people would benefit and learn from logging all food as long as they are honest.

    @Evan- I did post "in keeping in the context of triathlon training" in the effort to minimize the "I wanna be the person my Dog thinks I am" New Year's Resolutions but your "learning to fold fitted sheets" takes the cake.... I guess if you learn to do it correctly , you would get faster at it, hence leaving you more time to train ?

    @Brad- Since discussing diet is kinda like discussing politics, PM sent to you.

    @SS- I view you as a very wealthy man in the terms of what is important!
