New Years' Resolution

  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!! Yeah I know I'm posting this a few days after the new year but it still feels like it's almost 2011 with the weather finally being cold and snowy. Ohio didn't get a White Christmas and now we have to suffer through the next approximately 2 1/2 months of winter. But that's ok because the cold weather is what makes us from the north tough. We can deal with all four seasons in the North/Midwest and that's how I like it. To me it makes training for a spring marathon much more satisfying.
 
   In fact, that's what I'm doing today writing about my new years resolution. Running a spring marathon and PR'ing is on that list of course. Now when people make New Years Resolution for them it's hard to stick with them. You always see the gyms crowded the first month of the year. After that the attendance at these gyms die down. You can always tell the regulars from the non ones. People complain it gets too busy for them with work or what not. That's sometimes the problem. There are those who can't develop good or healthly habits and they tend to fall into bad routines instead of good routines.
  
   For me, last year around this time I thought about starting a blog. I didn't know how this would effect me. I started this back in February but almost a year into it I started to realize who reads this and give me their opinions of my blog post. I tried to be informative on my opinions on certain things. I don't talk about politics too much or not at all because everyone has an opinion and I don't want to get too dicey with mine.

(To be honest many of them like to smell their own S*** if you know what I mean)

  Like I mention in my very first blog I usually write about my faith, sports, some thoughts in life, anything running or training related, and defintely something funny. Keep it informative but entertaining has been my goal for this.

  Throughout the year I think I've been very funny with Jack Bauer vs MacGyver   and with Pro Wrestling Part 1 and Part 2 They have been some of my most read and popular ones. I've seen my beloved Buckeyes in trouble with the NCAA, Lebron be the quitter that he is. Also I share some thought on Gratitude & Contentment in my faith.

 I believe the best ones I shared this year were when I shared my  Blood, Sweat & Tears and was able to run the Boston Marathon. Through the rough times and great times had this year while also turning 30 years old finally, I think my friends and family for being there with me. I'll try to update or write in my blog still. It's hard when you get busy but at least 3 a month would be alright.

To show you what I plan to aim for this new year I don't think is that far off I believe. I mean you don't want to go to high and end up in disappointment. These seem very obtainable in the new year.

1.) PR in the marathon and the half marathon at a new age!! (Getting much healthlier)
2.) Read my bible a little more (This I need to work on, good thing my bible study friends keep me up with this.)
3.) If not PR in marathon then get a time where I can run again in the First Wave & First Corral at the 2013 Boston Marathon.
4.) Keep my place clean (LOL)
5.) Save my money a little bit more!!
6.) Read more into the Track and Field Officiating Rule Book to become a better Track Official.
7.) Yeah another thing. READ a little bit more. (Goes along with # 2 & # 6)
8.) Run USATF Club XC Nationals again in December (This one would be my 7th in a row if I continue to run it).
9.) Take any certification test in order to get a license in becoming a Personal Running Coach this year (Idea has been put into my head for awhile. I would like to work with anybody in training for anything up from 5k-Marathon. All speeds. Hopefully or maybe get back into coaching Junior High or High School Cross Country/Track & Field.)
10.) Keep myself positive and date a little bit more in hopes that I may get closer to finding THE ONE!!

I think those aren't out of reach!!! What are your New Years Resolutions.
