Subject: Hello, 2008!
Here's hoping that everyone has had a happy and healthy celebration of the new year! For myself, I can say that ringing in 2008 was a hell of a lot better than ringing in 2007. Last year, I drank myself to oblivion before refusing to let go of the porch railing. Eric and Lucas had to drag me inside kicking and screaming before I passed out on the floor in the loft. This year we went to the same party, however, I managed to keep myself in control and not only make it to midnight, but make it to 2 am! And we had a lot of fun. I realized how thankful I am for my EMS friends once again... they certainly are a cool group. Last night was Eric and I, Lucas, Steve, and Dave Vrooman (who used to work with us) and I am crazy about every one of them. It was a good time. And a lot less painful on the head.
Goals for 08, you ask? Here's a list:
-Pay off my credit card bill
-Buy a treadmill (I'm already there!)
-Beat my 5k PR of 25:00
-Run the 100 on 100 Relay Race in Vermont
-Run another marathon (hopefully with Sherri and she gets to pick the race!)
-Run a 50k (that's 31.07 miles for those keeping track)
-Start school and cut down hours at my second job
-Go snowboarding! I have all the gear, there is no excuse.
That's the condensed version, but my goals nonetheless. Lots of them are related to running, but then again, that's the largest part of who I am I think.
Wishing you happiness, health, and motivation in the new year...
