I started off my year by sleeping through my alarm and missing the 11 mile IERC Bandit Run. I jumped out of bed at 5am, ran into the living room where my dad was watching TV and blurted, "Why didn't you wake me up?!" Yes, because apparently I'm not a 28 year old adult capable of setting my own alarm(s). Needless to say, i went to bed at 8pm on New Year's Eve for nothing. I did eventually get my butt out of my blanket fort and proceeded on a 3.39 mile run. So not quite a total loss.
With the LA Marathon only 66 days away (eek!!!) I need to really make sure my training is on point! This week I've run 16 miles total. Not something to be proud of, exactly. But I've got my first half marathon of 2015 this Saturday, so that number will definitely be higher for week 2. I WILL reach my 1000 mile goal this year!!!!
Speaking of my 1000 mile goal, I realized that so far, I've reached my 10,000 step goal every day in 2015! This is definitely a direct result of my running goal, but I decided to make it a January goal as well; for a little extra motivation on those days I don't run.
My third birthday resolution was to take a picture every day. So far so "good". My intention with that project was to find something worth remembering in every day. I sit at a desk for 40 hours each week, and in traffic for another 15-20. The commute is definitely a choice, but I don't want it to define my life. I want to find something beautiful in each day. Unfortunately, out of 6 pictures (today's inspiration hasn't been discovered just yet), half of them are seflies. Now, in my defense, one of those selfies was me wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey this past Sunday to commemorate the win over Detroit. But I don't want 100 (unnecessary) selfies at the end of the year. So I need to be more perceptive to my surroundings and more creative with my photos. That will be my mini-goal of the week.
Have a great week!
