New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year!!! I hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday season will the people you love.

To set off this year, I'd like to put my resolutions out there for all to see.

1. I'd like to run a race that is longer than 26.2mi.

2. I'd like to get a marathon PR this year

3. I'm going to work out at least 6 days a week. Not running everyday, but I'd like to make sure that I'm incorporating things like lifting, hiking, and yoga into my schedule.

4. I'm going to spend more time running on trails this year, for a couple of reasons. First of all, being outside in the woods always makes me feel better. Secondly, I'd like to gain more leg strength and become a more athletic runner, and I really feel like this will help take me to the next level.

5. Unrelated to running (or possibly related to running?), I'd like to get out and volunteer more. At races, and in my community.

6. I need to start reading more again. This past year I have not done a very good job sitting down and reading every night, and I really would like to start again. I need to it help me wind down, but I also need to it keep myself sharp and keep myself engaged.

Here it goes!
