Welcome 2014!?

Roughly a year ago, I sat here and typed numerous sentences about my goals for 2013... most of them were not accomplished. I completed another half marathon, but would really like to ramp it up this year and set a real goal. I will be doing two half marathons this year and will be setting a new time goal for my second one. I haven't quite decided what that will be yet. I will think about it as the year goes on. I will also be setting a goal of 1014 miles in 2014.

Regarding healthy eating... We completely failed at it this year. Ok, that may have been a bit of an exaggeration, but really, we could have done a lot better. I also shouldn't use the word "failed". A better way to phrase it may be to say that there were many days where we could have improved on the nutritional value of our meals. It's odd; I spend so much time reading about nutrition and the impact of food on the human body, but the reality of it is that making choices is tough. I know what the right choices are but making them is a whole other story.

Finally, regarding scrapbooking and crafting... Although it may seem insignificant to some, crafting is a big part of my life. It brings me enjoyment, both through the actual process of scrapbooking or crafting and later by being able to look through our pictures in completed scrapbooks and craft projects. It is important to do what we love. Although when life gets busy, this is one of those things that does not get done, I would like to make it a point this year to do it. It brings me great pleasure and that in and of itself is worth making time for.

It's a good thing that being a regular blogger was not a goal of mine either. Obviously that would not have worked out :)
