New Years Resolution

Now is the time to jot down on a napkin what we are all planning on doing different this year that we didn't manage to do last year.


Join a gym.


Eat healthier.


Spend more time with friends/family/insert other person here.


Be a better person.


Stop spending so much money.

The list goes on. People love to take advantage of this day in history to begin a new story. I can't exactly say that I blame them. To take a new year as a new start and change your life in a way that you perhaps have been meaning to. Really, I enjoy the idea.

But for me? Ha. No. We all know I'm not going to keep up with a resolution. I have made resolutions in the past and then I fail and I feel like I have let myself down. This year (and for a few years in the past) I am skipping the disappointment and just not making a resolution. That doesn't mean I'm not going to attempt to better myself and do something new, it just means I'm definitely not writing it down.

This year, I'm making a few different goals for myself. Granted, I haven't actually gone to the trouble of making most of these goals, but the idea is there.

1. I want to run a 5k. This is a spring semester goal. Before I get home for the summer I want to have completed this one.

2. Finish my second Ruckus run in under 1 hour.

I'm hoping to make a few more since both of those will be completed by May if I actually get around to that 5k.

For all of you that did make resolutions, I wish you the best! If you want, I'll be your personal cheerleader and encourage you throughout the year!
