I am usually not into making New Year’s Resolutions. There’s no point. I never keep them. And it’s not really a disappointment, because no one ever knew about the goal anyway. And I can easily pretend I never made any goals. It comes pretty natural to me.
Anyway, this year is slightly different. I actually have set a small goal for myself that I think will keep me on track… or treadmill.
400 miles.
It’s not huge; I realize this. Many people probably do this without even thinking about it. But for lazy me, it means I have to stay committed and can’t slack off for more than a few weeks this year.
And it’s an actual number that I can count to. And, I just told the whole world (meaning all four of my readers) so it would be totally embarrassing for me not to reach this goal.
This is incredibly boring to you, I am sure. I am only writing this because of that whole accountability thing. Also, I am keeping track of my miles on my sidebar. More crappy accountability.
In related news, my wicked sisters have signed up for the Nashville 1/2 Marathon again. Me? Well, I am not excited about training for it. Running is hard and it hurts my legs and lungs. But if I don’t do it, my parents will probably make fun of me, being that I am their laziest daughter. So 1/2 marathon here I come. Dragging my feet. I am so mad at those sisters.
But I guess those miles will come in handy in helping me to reach my little goal…. and to help me burn off the half-dozen cookies I just devoured. Both, really.
2 down, 398 to go.
Good for you! I wish I could train with you because I told myself I could run a 5k, and while that is not nearly as cool as 1/2 a marathon, it's more than I've ran in aboooout 7 years.
ReplyDeleteI will not make fun of you if you fail.
giddyup!
ReplyDeleteUmmmm,I thought the sisters were going to go to Phoenix for the Rock n Roll Marathon and to visit their aunt. Guess I'm not the favorite :-(
