I’m still formulating my personal New Year’s resolutions. I love making new goals each year and checking back at the end to see if I accomplished them. It’s perfectly find to modify my original plans. My big goal this year was to run five races. The plan was to end with a full marathon, but I realized I wasn’t ready to go a full 26.2 miles. I still accomplished my goal. I ran the Cherry Blossom, Frederick Half, Virginia Beach Half, Baltimore Half, and Vegas Half. Splendid!

This year, I’m looking to run more races. I’d love to complete my first marathon, but quite frankly, I’m happy doing halves. I’ll be getting married this year, so another goal is paying for the wedding a saving up for a house. That’s not going to be easy.

And I’d love to read more books. I’m a bit obsessed with reality shows and can sit in front of the TV for hours catching up and watching re-runs of all the drama. It would be wonderful to sit in my chair, and read a few good non-fictions.

There are also some words of wisdom I’d like to keep in mind during 2010. My uncle Robbie e-mailed me some suggestions, and I’ve chosen the ones I like best:

-Eat breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess, and dinner like a beggar.
-Play more games
-Read more books than you did in 2009
-Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
-Sleep for seven hours
-Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about
-Dream more while you are awake
-Forgive everyone for everything
-Spend time with people over age 70 and under age six
-Try to make at least three people smile each day
-What other people think of you is none of your business
-Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Keep in touch
-Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful, or joyful
