Resolutions

I started my first day in 2012 running a 5K with my sister. We started the day saying we were going to try for a personal best of around 30 minutes OR break 30. Honestly, we were a little worried we could break 30 so that's why we left the "or" in place. Luckily we didn't need it because we broke 30!!

It was a really gratifying and emotional achievement. We crossed the finish, checked the watch and immediately started hugging and crying. It was a challenging run full of people in costumes, dogs and strollers. It also didn't help that we unintentionally started at the very end of the lineup. Even with those challenges, we hit our goal and it was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.

I'm really proud to have started my new year off on the right foot and having met some of my many resolutions. I made a healthy choice to run a race, lived in the present and made a a dedicated effort for self improvement.
