Key to Success: Aim Low?
An alternate strategy that may help you achieve your New Year’s Resolution is to aim low. Sure, the beginning of the year is great for coming up with grand plans, but sometimes guaranteed success is the better path.

Still on Track
It was hard to do it, but i dragged my butt out of bed and ran 8 miles in the 45 deg with a 30 mph wind. Talk about an a** kick-in. I was planning to do more miles, but could not deal with that wind any more.
I do have some business travel plans coming up so I hope I do not fall off the bandwagon..

Pre New Years Post - RunningMan
Ok, So i am now officially hooked with the site…. I am happy that I can have a community to track how I am doing on one of my many NY resolutions. Wow, I have so many, I will share them soon..
But for now, this weekend I stayed on my schedule and did about a 10 mile run. Good news is it was my best time ever (i think).
Thanks for the support, I will keep you updated in the coming weeks..

New Year’s Resolutions and Doing Your Taxes
Dude, you’re never going to guess what I got at work last week! A cake? A raise? A sweet window desk? I wish. Hardly though, just my W2. So I was thinking - woah, right? J/k. Do people ever make New Year’s Resolutions about their taxes? It’s such a horribly annoying thing, I certainly wouldn’t be thinking about them on New Year’s Eve, there were plenty, way better things on my mind, like, my wedding dress, Parker, parties, my fabulous outfit.

Acceptable Alternative?
A new gel is set to hit the shelves at Walgreen’s. This one does not sanitize your hands, but satisifies your craving for a cigarette. That’s right, just rub it in!
The product, called Nicogel, is the invention of biochemist Dr. John Walters of Great Britain.
Unlike traditional nicotine replacement therapies such as gums and patches, the gel gives

I did it!
I did it! Took almost 5 hours (4:54:30, to be exact), but I finished that marathon on Sunday. About all I can say is… I’m glad I did it, but I am not in a hurry to do it again! I’ve heard of people catching the “marathon bug,” but I definitely do not have it. My body will be glad for a few weeks of rest! I don’t anticipate going back to two-digit runs, though I think I’ll probably remain more active after this experience. Despite the soreness and mild injuries, getting so much more exercise definitely improved my life. I’m so happy that I made it and thankful to my friends, especially everyone who ran with me during my training time, and double especially everyone who met me at the finish with water! It was a beautiful course; we got to run past some beautiful landmarks in San Fran and then of course we got to cross the Golden Gate bridge–always an enjoyable experience and a fine symbol of my favorite city!

Cute horse New Year’s resolutions shirt
Nobody thinks about New Year’s resolutions in July, except maybe me (because I’m actually sticking to mine!–though I am getting more and more terrified as marathon day grows near). I just ran across this adorable New Year’s resolutions sweatshirt featuring some resolutions from horses. The shirt was made by a horse riding group for its members. I’ve only been on a horse a few times in my life, but once I was on one that laid down while I was on it–kind of a terrifying experience! Another rider had to get off to pull it up while I just sort of sat frozen. I guess I needed a little bit more practice before I’d be ready for that horse! Anyway, just a fun little example of New Year’s resolutions about something other than running! I think everyone I know is getting sick of me talking about the marathon, even though they’re actually excited for me. All I can think about is taking days (maybe weeks…) off of running after I finish! Wish me luck…

A little over a month to go…
I can’t believe that in a little over a month I’ll be running a marathon through the (way-too-hilly…) streets of my favorite city! It’s incredible to think that in six months I have come from maybe running 5 miles at a time (and even that seemed far!) to having done several runs over 10 miles! My long slow runs are now about 20 miles, which is just amazing to me. They are long, and they are slowwwww, but they’re not impossible! My body really can do this! It’s hard to believe, though, that I’ll be running more than 6 miles further in the marathon than I’ve ever run before. I used to think I couldn’t even run 6 miles at all! But my confidence is growing, thanks in part to some great runners that have joined me on the way. Thanks so much to Brad, my initial running partner, who still joins me for part of my runs (my runs are his cool-downs from his big workouts!) and to Jennifer, who I’ve met through an SF marathon group, I couldn’t do it without you guys! So close to the goal…

Tired…
My marathon plan says 16 weeks until the marathon. 16 weeks. That’s FOUR MONTHS. I can’t believe the marathon is happening so soon! I have to do 10 miles this weekend, but that’s nothing compared to the 20 miles I have coming up in two months!
