NEW YEAR!

It's the start of a new year... I am so excited and pumped to have great running in 2010. I felt that after the marathon it would be wise for me to take just a little time off. Well that little amount of time ended up being 2 whole months of time off!! I will sincerely re-think "time off" next year. So here I am treading my way back to the gym and all of the "New Year's Newbies" at the gym. The great thing is to see all the people who want to try to make a small or big change in their lives by hitting the gym. The only thing I feel bad ab0ut is that less than 20% of these "NYN" will stay on for more than 2 months. So as I fight my way to the gym and for a treadmill. I ask myself.. "what can I expect to accomplish this year in my running?" Here is a short list of what I myself would like to get out of my running this year: (1) Remember what it was like to run for "fun!" (2) Run in the Des Moines IMT Marathon/ Half Marathon. (3) Lose the all to undesirable Holiday pounds.

As the New Year starts off hot and heavy.... I will try to remind myself to go slow and enjoy!
