Resolutions

Today is January 1st. In five months, I will run the NJ Marathon right here at the shore.

Today we start training. Yes, it takes 5 months to train for a marathon. Pretty intense.

Today, I will run 3 miles. In fact, I am about to go put on the warmest gear I have, because it's freezing. I'm cold sitting here typing right now, so I can only imagine what outside is like. But, I will get out into the tundra and knock it out. And I will feel REALLY good about myself afterwards--that I can promise.

So why do people make resolutions on January 1st? Why not June 3rd? Why not Halloween? I don't know. All I know is that it's never a bad day to pick up a healthy habit, do something you truly love, or smile. So if you made some resolutions this year, good for you, improving one's self is awesome. If you didn't make any resolutions, there's always January 2nd!

My resolutions:

1. Get married

2. Run a marathon; and enjoy the process

3. Complain less about work

4. Allow myself more balance between work and the rest of my life.

I know 2013 is going to be AWESOME! So I'm going to go run now. What are you going to do today?
