Happy Tuesday! Thank you for joining me and Jenn for another edition of Tuesday Topics. Remember to link up with us! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Don’t forget to come back for later linkers!Â
In December I wrote my goals for this year. Since we are halfway through the year, let me update you on how it is going.
• Run/walk 2,015 miles. I am way behind in this goal. I have 1,940 miles to go. That is 10.55 miles per day to reach my goal on December 31st, 2025.
• Run at least 5 races. I am running my first race on Friday. With 6 more months to go this year, there is hope of adding 4 more race this year.
• PR in a race distance. It will be a miracle if I PR on Friday’s race (4 miles). Â
• Read 25 books. Great news! I will meet this goal. Currently, I am on book #13.
• Take an international trip. I want to make this happen. I want to go to Mexico City and spend a few days there. My plan is to see the pyramids in Teotihuacan, ride on colorful boats in Xochimilco, and check out the Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacán.
So let’s review how 2025 is going so far. Â
January-February
• Picked my word for 2025…Happiness.
• Bought my house!
• Ran and walked 4.70 miles in January.
• Ran and walked 0 miles in February.
March-April
• Moved into my new house.
• Ran and walked 0 miles in March.
• Ran and walked 24.20 miles in April.
May-June
• Ran and walked 17.25 miles in May.
• The 2024-2025 school year ended. I had 5 days off and began teaching Summer School. Â
• Ran and walked 37.94 miles in June. It is the highest mileage to date.
• Summer School ended.
• Finished reading 13 books.
I truly cannot believe that we are halfway through 2025. Let’s see how the rest of the year goes for me.
The topic for next week – How does Summer running impact your Winter running goals? How are you dealing with it? Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
You’ve already achieved so much this year, Zenaida. Buying your house was a big event!
Hitting your highest mileage month in June is a huge win. The 2,015-mile goal is definitely ambitious, but I love that you’re not giving up on it just yet. Mexico City sounds like a fantastic plan. I hope that trip comes together for you.
Can’t wait to hear how Friday’s race goes!
I agree. Buying my house is the most important thing I did so far. I have been looking to buy for years so I am glad I can cross if off my list.
The year has been flying by! I hope you’re able to complete your goals–at least your trip to Mexico City. Buying your house was a big deal–you should be proud of that!
I hope so too. I can finally use my passport.
Buying a house is a big deal.
Maybe next year you will have time to run more.
Hope you do get to Mexico.
The problem isn’t that I don’t have time. It’s that I do not make time for it. I wake up early but end up reading emails and doing work. I need to stop doing that and just go run.
You have had such a huge year! Buying a house is such a great accomplishment and also takes so much time. Excited for your first race! I have some catching up to do too!
I am glad I was able to buy a house this year. I can cross it off my list.
