Two thousand twelve was
The Year of the Run and, for the most part, it went really well. It inspired me to push through the days I didn't want to run and complete the races that I wanted to quit. It also helped me to complain less about the act of running, less not stopped completely. I can honestly say that I no longer hate it - sometimes I even enjoy it. But I didn't run as much, as far or as fast as I had hoped so next year is time to kick things up. That brings me to 2013 - which I am deeming "The Year of I AM A RUNNER". From this day forward, I'm going to say, "I'm a runner" without missing a beat (at least I'm going to try really hard). When someone asks me if I run I often stutter, stall, try to change the subject or say one of the following:
- not really;
- I'm so slow, I might as well walk;
- I only run bc it's part of a triathlon;
- I hate running - it seems like a waste of my time;
- No - I'm not a runner at all.
With the new year coming, I'm going to set bigger, tougher goals for myself. To kick off the year on the right foot I've joined a few Challenges.
I've also set up my triathlon/run schedule for the year and it's looking fun, fun, fun with lots of work to do to accomplish. Now only 3 days until January 1st...bring it on.
