Fitness Goals

I started my new job this week, and so I'm starting to really think about what goals I have for the future. On the one hand, I'd like to just take a moment to rest. I feel exhausted and want to tell myself that I've "earned" a break. But on the other hand, I think that I ought to jump straight into working out, before I get too lazy. I will no longer be working at my evening librarian job after tomorrow night, so even if I worked out for 30-45 minutes after work on Thursday, I'd still get home about 4 hours earlier than I'm accustomed to getting home.

My new job offers a lot of great benefits. One of the ones I plan on taking advantage of is a wellness program that will help me assess how "well" I am, in many aspects of my life. I plan to use this as a jumping off point, and a way to chart my progress. So sometime in the next couple of weeks, I will get some biometrics taken. I think I'm going to post the numbers here, not so much because anyone cares, but because I want to see myself improve. I want to be accountable.

But what do I *really* want to accomplish? There are many life goals that I have, and I am proud to say that I've reached a couple of them. But right now I'm focusing on fitness goals. I adore food, and can't honestly see myself making any drastic changes to my diet, but what can I become physically?
My long term fitness goals are to run a half marathon, to be able to do a pull-up, and to get down to 135 pounds. Well that's all well and good, but what about some achievable short-term fitness goals?
Without having weighed in the past few weeks, I'd estimate that I'm about 155 pounds. So goal #1 is to get down to 145. I wonder what a good time-frame would be for that. It's "just" 10 pounds, so I am arbitrarily setting a date of August 1st. In lieu of a pull-up, I'd like to be able to do 25 good push-ups in one set. (I used to be so good at push-ups!) And I'd like to run an entire 5K without walking sometime before Christmas.

Are these goals too much or too little? It's been so long since I've set and achieved a fitness goal that I don't honestly know what I'm capable of! But I plan to blog it out. :)
