April goals

I haven't put any thought into April goals.  I don't even know if it's worth making goals at this point.  These are going to be the most simple goals there are, just saying. . .

Goal 1: getting outside (hiking) . . . In April I will save $20 towards hiking gear.  That's it, that's all I can do at this moment.  Which is a shame because $20 won't do much towards helping me get gear and it's going to get warmer out, but that's all I can handle now.

Goal 2: yoga . . . In April I will do some sort of stretching 4 days a week for at least 10 min.
I can totally handle this and since I have not been stretching much at all, I have noticed the ache that I had in my left thigh coming back, so I definitely need to get back into it.

Goal 3: PR half and full marathons . . . I will go to the gym at least 2 times a week and do some cycle work on a bike.
I am currently trying to prevent plantar faciitis from getting worse. My foot is pretty painful right now after I run, so I think I need to stop running for a little bit.  Especially if I want to train for another marathon, and PR it.  I am only driving to work 2 times a week, so the gym is not doable more than that and I don't have a bike at home.  If I can manage more than 2 times a week I will try. I do need to start rolling and icing my foot religiously (right now I'm average once a week on really bad days).  So . . . ice and roll 4 times a week.

Goal 4: healthy eating . . . I will eat a salad 2 times a week, afternoon coffee 2 times a week. Count calories and stay within my limit, cut back on the stupid candy from Easter. And I will go back to trying to keep wine on weekends and one day in the middle of the week, but honestly, that might not happen.
I haven't really been weighing in much.  I've been afraid to step on the scale, to be honest.  I even skipped my monthly weigh in yesterday, I can pretty much say that my weight is at least 155, and I don't want to know if it's more.  It will make my life worse.  So I'm going to work on my diet instead.

Bonus goal: Tattoo
Many years ago I had a friend that got a tattoo of her Dad's handwriting that says "I love you, Dad."  At that time I thought that would be amazing to get, so I had both my Mom and my Dad write that on a piece of paper.  My Dad instead wrote "Me too" under my Mom's "I love you, Mom."  I hadn't had any burning desire to get the tattoo before now, but now I do.  So that is my bonus goal, to get that tattoo, or at least schedule it.
