The year of 2013 is off to a great start. We rang in the new year with our amazing 3 kids and wonderful friends. This morning I was able to kick off the year with the 1st Day 5K. I was not have been able to attend this race without the help of my friends as I was able to farm out my kids to avoid trying to find a sitter (and saving me quite a few bucks in the process!). Today was the perfect day for excuses: it was freezing, there was no sun, I had no friends to run with (actually went all alone - so lame) and I had no sitter. But I'm determined to get faster, get fitter and to keep improving athletically (I love saying "athletically" in a sentence about myself!).
Last year I bought the shirt on the left - I saw it on some guy at a race and went on a search for it. I thought it was the most perfect shirt for me but then many people pointed out that a bad attitude is never going to help me reach my goals. The old saying is, "Attitude is Everything" - that was the last time I wore that shirt. I vowed to change my thinking and to stop hating it. The shirt on the right in my new shirt for 2013 and forward. Based on my times between years - I'd say changing my attitude has made a great difference in my pace. Still not where I want it to be but going in the right direction.
