My goal is simple. To regain my physical fitness level. Ten years ago I entered the military at 165 pounds, and since then I have been slowly increasing my body fat. I am now out of the service, a freshman in college and combating the freshman fifty. I have decided that I will not be another statistic, I am going to get back into shape and this program will be a good way to keep that thought fresh in my mind. It will enable me to focus my efforts towards achieving my goal as if this were another class, and as if am striving to, at a minimum, be on the Dean's List.

My goal with this walking program is to:
1. Lose weight but I am not obsessed with the number so much as I am interested in getting stronger, more fit, more agile.
2. Make exercise a permanent part of my daily routine…for life!
3. Learn to think of exercise as my main de-stressor and stop sabotaging my health and well being by overeating, drinking alcohol or spending money!

My goal is to be ready for the 3Day walk for Breast Cancer in September. It is 20 miles/day and I’m doing the Seattle event. We are trying to get together a Team Alaska, so if any of our walker friends want to join in, it’s a good cause. Besides that, we will rack up the steps for those three days, the weekend after Labor Day. It does give lots of time to get ready!

I'm going to do the Gold Nugget Triathlon in Anchorage May 20. It's an all-women's event for all levels of fitness and very do-able. Go to www.goldnuggettriathlon.com for more information.

My goal is to climb Flat Top before the end of May and then again during August.
I want to cut my time by a ¼ on the second trip up. A second goal is to hike up Mount Marathon in less then 2.5 hours by the end of the summer!

5. Turn all the frozen bananas in my freezer into something more
palatable, like banana bread or milkshakes.
6. Try to grow some food, peas are easy right?
7. Take at least one extra 4-day weekend.
8. Email my grandma AT LEAST once a month.
9. Find a good bike route. Repeat bi-monthly.
10. Make peace with dental floss.

Johanna Herron
My summer goal will be to lose 5-10 pounds, I would like to walk to my mailbox and back (3 mile walk) no less than 5 times a week, weather permitting since I will be pushing my baby in a stroller. On the days I don't I will use the treadmill. In addition I will get back into my pilates routine by making a game out of it with my 1 year old.

I'm training for a 24-hour mountain bike race in June as a member of an 8-person all ladies team. I have just three weeks to train which is very compresses given my recent injury.
My training consists of:
1) Adding mileage on the road for general conditioning.
2) Incorporate strength and core training.
3) Add off-road rides for bike handling.
4) Get sufficient sleep every night.
5) Maintain a balanced diet.

I got badgered into doing this Arizona biking tour with friends. It lasts six days, is 500 long miles and the total elavation gain is 31,500 feet. My goal is to keep doing my lunch time daily biking and add in a few longer rides on the weekends. By doing this I'm hoping to be able to bike, at least half of, the ride without complaining too much. |
