RESOLUTIONS!!!

{SIGH}  I can't believe I have not posted anything on here in months.  I looked after one of my running friends asked me when my next posting was going to be.  I said it would be soon deflecting with the excuses of holidays and finals that I had been busy and couldn't concern myself with this blog right now.

I logged on here this morning and was completely MORTIFIED that I had last made an entry in September!!!  I looked.....looked again.  That can't be right.  I surely made some type of entry in October.  The later part of October, definitely.  NOPE.  Not one since September.  I hang my head in shame.

So, now starts a new year....a new beginning, and resolutions.  While last year was an AMAZING running year for me.  With several races, my first and second 1/2 marathons, and most importantly my running companions going along with me.....and dragging me kicking and screaming with them.  I was truly blessed to have such great people to encourage, support, and inspire me to do what I did.  I could not have done it without you.

I cannot wait for this year to get moving and see where it takes us.  And with that come resolutions.

My ultimate goal is triathlon. My weakest discipline is running.  So, there will be more running this year.

Resolution #1 - 4 of 5 1/2 marathons.  Spread out over the year, and not 3 in 5 weeks.  The last one will actually be in 2015 in Walt Disney World.  Maybe a cruise after to celebrate!!! Who knows.

Resolution #2 - My friends and I are going to do a triathlon.  Yep, its true.  A relay most likely but a triathlon nonetheless.

Resolution #3 - Find myself a bicycle.  I'm tall, I'm heavy, and I can't find one.  I will find an affordable bicycle if it's the last resolution I do.

That's it.  Only 3, but there's a lot in there.....OH WAIT!!!!!  1 more.

Resolution #4 - and maybe this one should be higher on the list...oh well.  Continue with this blog.  I've got run reports to catch up on, training runs I've got to catch up on....law school??? ppsssshhhhaawww

Anyway, a few last thoughts for the 2014 start for Slogging To Tri.  I want to wish Stacie the best and good luck tomorrow, yes, tomorrow as she runs her first ever FULL MARATHON in the Happiest Place on Earth!!! Walt Disney World!!!  Enjoy the moments.  It may get tough, but look around you, where else would you rather be.  Time is not important.  Yes, I realize who I am talking to.  And with the victors' comes the spoils.  Enjoy the cruise and you will not be treated any better anywhere else than you will there.  I will be cheering you on tomorrow.

Stacie has her husband and Sherpa, Jeff there to manage her race....I'm sure that's what he's doing.  And he cheering section Max and Kaylin to get her to the finish line.

Lastly, here is what I accumulated last year and I want more this year.
