May Goals

Happy May!

Charlie inspired me to get back to goal setting and sharing these goals with you guys. It’s been a busy past few months and nothing is going to slow down anytime soon. If I want to keep making progress, sharing goals on the blog helps me not only hold myself more accountable but also keep them top of mind!

I’ve split these goals into four buckets in order to strive for a well rounded month.

Fitness

• I’m hoping to kick off the month with a new half marathon personal best followed by a month of continued marathon base building. As part of this base building I want to get into a routine or habit of my cross-training of choice for this marathon season – yoga and swimming. It won’t be easy to commit to swimming every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 6:30-7:30 but I am excited to see my improvement at the end of the month and it’s an activity that I can share with Bo as our work team is open to spouses!

Home

• Bo’s arrival in Geneva means that we need to make space for everything which was previously in our London flat. He’s taking a road trip from Geneva to London in order to transport things back here so before he arrives I need to organize my things as best as possible. The change of seasons is always a great time to go through clothes and beauty items, donating anything that I’m not longer wearing or using.

Personal

• Since moving abroad, I’ve found myself texting far more than talking on the phone. While I love how quick and easy text messaging is I really miss that human connection that comes with video or phone. My goal is to pick up the phone at least once a week and call a friend or family member versus just texting them.

Blog

• My upcoming half marathon and the travel posts I’ve been sharing lately need a good place to live on the blog. No time like the present to update these two sections and make sure they are as organized as possible!

It may seem like career or professional is missing but I find that I rarely need an accountability partner or reminder when it comes to my work goals. Each day I’m reminded of them either during weekly connects or via my Outlook task list.
