I won't bore you with my "resolutions" (because, let's be honest, have I ever kept one? Nope), but, I will dive into what I like to call 2011: The Year of Awesome. Or something like that.
The last two years my life has been consumed with marathon training--now, don't get me wrong, it's the love of my life, running marathons. I love it. Does that make me kind of sick and sadistic? Yeah, probably. Whatevs. But, with marathon training comes putting my life on hold. Going to bed early all the damn time. Missing out on girls brunches and sleeping in.
There were a few times this past fall where I skipped out on a run because I went shopping with my best friend, or I stayed up too late watching movies and eating pizza with two of my nearest and dearest--I didn't let myself feel guilty for it and it was awesome. You only live once, right?
So, this year, I'm adopting a run less, work out more tactic. This may even get me on a bike--who knows! Maybe I'll try Pure Barre and get my dancers body back (hey, a girl can dream). Don't worry, I'm still marathoning--I've got an ultra in like 6 weeks. GULP.
I'm going to attempt to Be Me in every possible way. If that means saving up for a new gorgeous handbag because damnit I want it? I will. If that means staying up way too late watching movies and laughing with friends and family? I will. If that means finally admitting that I can't pull off black eyeliner? Done.
2010 was hard. Our family dealt with a lot. Things might not always be rosy, but, we're gonna make it. We're gonna live. 2011: The Year Of Awesome.
It's my life. It's my year. I'm going to live it.
First up? A trip to St. Louis to laugh, eat, drink and shop with my favorite sheltie mama.
Then? My parents come to visit me in Dallas--that never happens!
Next? A work trip to Miami! Miami, folks!
Looks like I'm off to a good start.
It's time to "get busy living, or get busy dying". Time for this redhead to really live!
