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!

[…] had made a list of goals I wanted to achieve in 2014 and I was well on my way to achieving them…then May came and my life […]
I just recently got double unders, and I felt like I had unlocked the secrets of the world! 🙂 Great list, keep it up!
I love it!! Jumping like that is one of my big fears as well. And will be on my list of things I’d like to do. Not necessarily this year, but sometime. I like the idea of jumping steps. I might have to give that a try!
My goal right now is “Cartwheel by 40” — I’ve got 14 months to get back to cartwheel confidence.
