2013 was a big year for me.
I ran two marathons, including a runDisney coast-to-coast ultra in memory of two fallen firefighters. I PRed in nearly every distance and became an Oiselle team runner.
I covered several high-profile trials at work and for the second straight year, ran more than 1,000 miles.
So what’s next for 2014?
Honestly, I am still trying to figure that out. I have several spring races planned and I would like to run a fall marathon, but I also want to do something new and different. What? I’m not just sure.
I don’t make resolutions. But I know I need to work toward a few fitness and overall life goals:
I need to work on my core, and not make excuses when I’m not in the mood or the weather makes travel difficult.
I need to drink less coffee and more water.
I need to clean put my closets, become more organized and purge unnecessary items with a mass decluttering.
I need to be more patient.
I need to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.
I need to be better about living in the moment, and just go with it.
So I plan to live by this mantra in 2014, live each day better than the day before. If I follow that plan, I can’t go wrong.
What suggestions do you have for my coming year? What should I try? What are your 2014 goals?
I have my goals posted on my blog, but I call them goals, not resolutions. My biggest one is to run 14 in 14. At this point it might be walking, but I’m gonna do it!
What a great goal Betsy! Best wishes as you move forward each day! What race are you tackling first?
Have you tried obstacle course runs yet? Warrior dash? Or something a little less serious like the dirty girl? That’s new and different!
I did one back in 2011 and Honestly, I’m not a fan. I had battle scars for weeks. I actually signed up for the Warrior Dash last year but skipped it because I was concerned about injuries and I didn’t want to be electrocuted. (!!!) I know people love those events, but they just aren’t for me. Thanks for the suggestion though Keri!
Something different you say? There’s always the Pikes Peak Marathon. 😉
