I wrote this much closer to new years day but the snow and ice has kept from being able to post it. I think I should have added to my goals, to get internet at my house. The snow days have kept me from being able to write and post like I wanted.
A new year means a fresh start for me. I have set 4 goals for myself for the year. Probably a little ambitious but I think it is manageable goals.
The first is to write more. I have always written for myself. It helps me to work out things that I'm going through or thinking about. I started this blog to write about things I was going through in hopes that other people were going through the same things. I've shifted my focus and have started thinking more about what other people might want to read. So then I don't write at all because I can't think of anything profound enough to say. So I'm going try to blog more often. And to blog more often I should probably not try to write a book each time I write.
The second goal is to run a half marathon. I got into running last spring and ran a few 5k races. I have never run more than 3 miles and until 2 weeks ago hadn't run in two months. So this is going to be a challenging goal to meet. But I think I need the challenge. Posting this on my blog and on facebook helps me keep up with it. I just started official training on Monday. So 2 days into it I'm doing well. I'm up to 3 miles and it makes me feel great. I have to push myself for the 3 miles but it's worth it. My best friend is training with me even though she's in California and my sister and brother in law are suppose to do the race too. So with all this support, I should be able to meet this goal.
In an effort to write less but more, I'll leave my other 2 goals for another day.
