The end is coming...or so they say

Even if they didn't say it was ending I will still work my butt off and make this year count!
I am rolling on a significant high from 2011 and riding it out as long as it will last.

Last year I...

-grabbed life by the cojones and made some necessary changes to make me happy
-moved back to Michigan and am closer to family and friends
-got an awesome new job that is keeping me sane and letting me actually train
-traveled to Sweden and Denmark
-grew some delicious veggies in the garden
-moved in with the boy and am loving every second of it
-traveled to Hawaii; got to watch my friends kill it during the Ironman; and cheer on all the pros
-signed up for my next Ironman (Arizona)
-got set up with a coach
-came out of injury stronger and smarter than ever
-made the incredible Rev3Team

I intend to ride it (figuratively and literally) out with...

-LOTS of Rev3 love; excited to be apart of something big, racing at Wisconsin Dells and Cedar Point
-training smarter, not harder; I have just been doing some base stuff and fooling around since I am peaking so late in the season this year, but I feel strong and awesome about the year ahead
-a year round garden this year and less wasting; ie. more canning, drying, etc
-eating breakfast and eating it before 9 AM
-eating healthy; this was my demise the last time I took on a marathon training and I intend to conquer
-nail my race day nutrition
-attack my weakness; ie. avoid injuries and bring my A-game....stretch and strength
-obtain additional training for my job; ie. graduate coursework ~ no idea how to fit this in yet
-be patient (this makes it on every list I make)
-when I am having a tough day, moment, workout, remember its all about attitude (thanks Erin!)
-achieve my financial goals
-posture; will not die a hunchback! 

Go out there and take control of what may be the last year of the world!

  1. love the garden goal. We've had a garden the last few years. This year was less than plentiful. Perhaps in 2012 one of my goals should be WATER the garden!
