A New Year Again

I have witnessed my 34th New Year (33 years old), and once again I am determined to make myself a better person. This year should be an awesome one as in a few weeks we will be moving into our new house. It looks like this year will also bring a change in my employment. My goal is to make sure it is a positive change and not a negative one. I'm a bright person with a lot of different skills, so I think I can adapt to whatever comes my way. I would also like to re-prioritize my running. I have been plodding along for a few years now. Last year I was only able to run a 5:03 in the mile, and this year I would like to see that time closer to 4:40 or so. But I also understand what that means as far as commitment and time spent running. It seems like it hasn't been worth working 3 times as hard just to take 30 seconds off of my mile. But I would at least like to take it a little more serious this year and maybe run some road races and stuff. I did the Hood to Coast last year and held my own, but I wasn't in the shape I should have been in. I would also like to better myself in other ways, such as spiritually, etc. Don't we all though? I like ringing in the New Year because it is really a great time to evaluate where you are and where you would like to be and try to connect the dots to try to get closer to that. Here's to a great 2011!!
