2014 New Years Resolutions

With 2014 already a couple days in, I have seriously been pondering what my New Years Resolution (aka
NYR) should be. This has been a toughie for me. But two nights ago when I met up with my favorite group of runners to start off the new year right with a run (well tapering for me.) I finally came up with my NYR!

I will need a drum roll please...…..

That's right! I want to run 1000 miles in 2014. Yes I am NUTS. But, by days end 1/12 I will have already 62.1 miles in! This should be a breeze….. I hope! But this isn't my only NYR for 2014 here are some other ones!

Being a better Blogger: I want to be myself but also like the women who inspired me to be a blogger. They have so much passion and love for what they do. I want that! This will def be a work in progress.

Design more: One thing a lot of people don't know is I LOVE design work. I love designing party invitations, cards, event programs. You name it I can do it. I have done some Christmas card work this past year for friends and family but here is our Christmas Card from this past year that I designed.

Be a better Puppy Mommy, Girlfriend, Sister and Daughter: My family means the world to me. So I want to be able to give them the time they deserve.

Learn more about photography: My mom bought me this Christmas a Canon Rebel SL1. I basically started crying when I opened it. I take a lot of pictures for my company for events etc. But I want to learn about lighting and the proper technique.

Of course NYR take time and practice, but fingers crossed these things can happen! Happy 2014! I will update you all in June on how all of this is going!

Until next time everyone! 

What are some of your New Years Resolutions? 

Did You Miss Me? Life/Training Update -- New Years Edition 2014!

Hi everyone! Man, I can't believe 2013 is over! And that I have been so MIA since Mid-October! First off let me apologize for my absence. Life happens and I am a firm believer that Family comes first. They took the front seat for a short time. But I am happy to be back up and running! So let me update you on some happenings in my life!

Life Updates: 

I went more to the blonde side. And I like it!

I FINALLY got my 2013 Coast to Coast Shirt in the mail! 

 

My little Stella had surgery and had to wear the 'Cone of Shame' for Halloween.... So we told people we dressed her up like a satellite dish.

 Bentley now thinks he is the 'King of the House' and proceeds to sleep on top of pillows like he is royalty or something. #Spoiled.

I had Fire Training at work and learned to put out fires. I really felt like a bad ass after it all.

 

Chris got me some flowers and a card. Just because. I really thought he did something wrong.

And Stella became a toy hoarder. We are currently seeking treatment for her 

hoarding tendencies now. 

Training Update: 

Joined a running/training group at Fit2Run. LOVE IT. And volunteered at the Ft. Myers Beach Half and Full Marathon! Best experience of my life.

I love donuts so much...But my coach said it is not part of my training plan. BOO

 Since my SERIOUS training started back in October (about 11 weeks), I have logged 258 miles. Stella wants to start running too. 

I FINALLY bought myself a Lululemon Scuba Zip Hoodie for WDW Marathon Weekend. Not to run in of course but to be cozy warm. Best part of this whole thing, I got it day after Christmas for $58.00

I also bought  some VIBRAMS! Aka my Tinger shoes. Love them.

 I don't run in them but I love them. 

 I also made some Christmas Cookies that my coach said I couldn't have..... Evil.

Be on the look out for my blog updates that will occur every 

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday! 

Until next time everyone!
