1) Be able to do an unassisted pull-up
2) Be able to do 10 unassisted pull-ups in a row
3) Run a nine minute mile
4) Run a 30 minute 5k (this is not that impressive but with as much as I hate running and how little I actually do it, this will be a great feat)
5) Box Jump 20″ repeatedly
6) Sprint 100m in 25 seconds (I’m at 30 seconds now with a turnaround at 50m- 20 seconds seems unrealistic, but 25 seconds should be doable)
7) Climb a damned rope!
8) Master double unders
9) Do three REAL handstand pushups in a row
10) Compete in one Crossfit competition
Last but not least: Get my level 1 Crossfit Certification so I can help others achieve their goals too!
I just noticed that none of my goals include increasing weight in any of my lifts. That will happen naturally anyway, but it’s interesting to me that I seem to be more focused on skills than weight. I’m okay with that.
Here is a picture of my first handstand push up. By the end of 2014, those pads protecting my head and keeping me from getting all the way down will be gone and I will be able to do the “real deal” because I am awesome.
UPDATES:
3/1- Got pistol squats! They weren’t on the original list but should have been, I guess. They weren’t even on my radar and then BAM! Done!
4/1- Competed in the Unite Open (a scaled version of the Crossfit Open) Got my competitive juices flowing. I see more in my future!

Came across your “10 Reasons I love my ugly body” post and was SO impressed!! Thought I’d poke around your blog a bit 🙂 Those are awesome goals and very close to things I hope to achieve in 2014! Definitely don’t say 30 minute 5k isn’t impressive! I just did one in 35:07 (my goal was 35…so close!!) and that was the best I’ve ever done and that felt great! I would LOVE to get to 30 minutes 🙂 Would love to hear more about your progress in achieving these goals!

Don’t say a 30 minute 5K isn’t impressive! I impress the hell out of myself every time I do one!! Awesome goals…doing a pull-up has been on my list forever.
