Life,
Running This last weekend, I went down to St. George, Utah to run a half marathon with 10 of my friends. 5 of us ran the half, and 5 ran the 5k and 1 was our cheerleader!
It was an awesome weekend with awesome friends.
I reached my goal of running the half in under 3 hours. I ran it in 2:53! Last time I ran a half my time was 3:09, I shaved 16 minutes off my time, I am so happy about this!
I want to keep myself motivated so I have a few races coming up:
- 5k on the 30th of Jan.
- 10k on the 13th of Feb.
- 15k on the 27th of Feb.
- Half Marathon on the 27th of March
- 5k April 10th
- 10k Earthday April 22nd
I have a few others after that, but I don’t want to look too far ahead in the future! Although, I am already planning on the St. George Half in 2011!!!

Deep Thoughts,
Goals Happy New Year Peeps! I wasn’t home on the 1st to post my first post of the year, the 3rd works for me since I love the number three!
I am really looking forward to a new year. I love that the calendar starts all over and we get to celebrate holidays all over again. I love how people also look over the past and look to the future and make goals to progress in life.
I like that people have New Year’s Resolutions, I like to call mine goals. So, here are mine in no particular order:
- Lose my last 60 lbs out of 120 lbs total
- Get back into Archery, dust off the bow and shoot it!
- De-Junk and Organize my house
- Finish writing and illustrating my children’s picture book
- Start writing my YA Paranormal novel
- Write and Mail letters to friends and family
- Go to school to become a personal trainer
- Schedule Internet time
- Go to bed earlier
- Get up earlier
- Run a lot of half marathons so that next year I can run a full!
- Teach my 4 year old how to read
- Help my 7 year old reach her goals and dreams
- Do more for my husband
- Remember to stop and take care of myself as much as possible
- Not let people hurt me emotionally
Well, there it is, all possible if I commit and make an effort!
Here is to an amazing year!
