I'm not big on resolutions. One year I made the resolution that I was going to look 5 strangers in the eye and smile at them. I tend to not look at people when I am out and about. I thought this might also be the key to find love (or a restraining order). It was much harder than it sounds to do. I also felt like I was a bit weird stalker girl. So that didn't last that long. It was also hard when I went to work and came home. Not a lot of stranger interaction there. Well this year I am going with the old stand by of millions of people. I am going to work out 5 days a week and visit the gym more often. I know I slacked off after the 1/2 marathon in August. It also helps that I will be starting my 1/2 marathon training soon too. :) I would like to increase my pace while running too. We will see about that. I think I am destined to be a slow runner.
Well looks like today is going to be a beautiful day in Northern VA. So I will be running the hood today, after I go grocery shopping. It is always so much fun to come back from vacation to an empty refrigerator. I will say I did a very good job watching my eating at my mom's house. Not too much food or cookies and I didn't gain any weight (and might have actually lost a pound or two). So hopefully I can keep that trend up this year.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years!

Good luck with improving your pace. I have the same goal this year.
i do goals, not resolutions :) i don't think i need to change anything, just want to focus on accomplishing a few things! that's how i see it, anyway.
happy new year!
Stalker girl - that's funny. Isn't that weird...we want people to be friendly, but when strangers smile at us we think the worst!
I'm with you on improving my pace this year - last year I went from 10:25 miles to 9:40 miles. I'd love to get close to 9:00 this year! Good luck to you!
