Resolutions for 2014

Hey there!

Hope everyone had a good holiday! I will admit it...I was lazy. I enjoyed home and didn't even touch my running shoes...which I should've...but I don't think I will be home until my sister's graduation in May...so whatever. Can you believe that 2013 is almost over? That means a new year, a new you, a new start.  I always hated the idea of making resolutions, but this year I have decided to share mine with you. Maybe this year, like this blog, telling people will help me keep with them.

So here it goes: My 2014 Resolutions

1) Run the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon in February 2015

2) Get an agent

3) See at least one artistic thing a month (poetry open mic, movie, play, etc...)

4) Live in the now more

5) Feel healthy and fit again

I would like to point out something- I put no number on anything relating with my body.  It seems to be that every year we resolve to lose x-amount of pounds and do we? How well does that work? I have many times said I would do that and then by the middle of January went..."eh...it's okay".  I have decided that events work better for me than numbers.  See- I want to run the 1/2 marathon in a good time...but I haven't decided that time yet. So while my goal may be just to finish, I will eventually have a "magic" number in my head that will push me. And to be in shape for a 1/2 marathon I will need to become fit and healthy again...which will require more than just running. But did I say how I was going to do it? No! Because that is something I can figure out on the way.  I think (stay with me now...getting all philosophical on you) that it's about the journey not the result.  If we resolve to lose x-amount of pounds, once we get there we will have the urge to just stop because we reached our goal. But if our goal is to be healthy, not only do we take stress off ourselves to reach a magic number, we will set ourselves up for healthy habits that will last beyond 2014.  As for the others, that really is up to fate and money...but who knows, maybe I will be able to get both done this year :)

I hope you all had a happy holiday and that each of your New Year's is not only a happy celebration of 2013 but that your 2014 is prosperous and full of health and happiness. Thanks for reading and remember, we're in this together....even if we don't see each other in action.

Until next time, keep running strong!
