Happy New Year... new beginning... new me!

Happy New Year everyone!  I have decided to start with a clean slate.  I have purged/cleaned out my history on my blog... and starting to work on a new me.

1)  I have come to the conclusion, or should I say I am admitting,  that I am a very negative person!  I am sure you all had this figured out a long time ago!
I am going to work on having positive posts - find the good in each day, each situation, each person.  That is asking alot as it is WAY easier to be negative than positive.  I am a work in progress.. but that is one of my goals.

2) Another goal is to get to my goal weight.  I have promised myself I would do a lot of things this past year, such as; track, exercise, eat right... and I don't seem to keep it up after a week.  I would like to change this.   I want to rededicate myself - not blame others for me not being successful.  Control what I can and let go of everything else.

3) Do the marathon taking place in Vancouver Washington in April 2010 - I am in training - started on January 1st.  Its a walking marathon - I had originally planned to do the 1/2 but seem to be pushing myself to train for the full.  
January 1st I walked 6 km  -
on January 2nd I did 10.8 km...
the turn back was 7 km for training for the half but most halfers were behind me and the full marathoners were a few yards in front - so I jogged to catch up to them and finished with them.  It sure felt good - but by the time I got home my muscles were stiffening up! A good hot bath with epsom salts, a foot rub with herbal "tired feet" creme and a good nights sleep and I was near new in the morning.  I haven't slept that solid or good in years!

Those are 3 very tall orders.... let 2010 be successful for you and me!
Here's to a healthy robust 2010!
