New Year, New You? Not for me.

We’re down to the final days. 2011 is coming to a close. Honestly, there will always be those goals to be more financially stable, eat healthier, exercise more, etc. so I don’t really have any desire to get into the details of all of that. But here are some specific goals I’ve come up with for 2012:

1. Run Streak — OK, kind of. In 2011, I ran 137 miles (so far…). The goal will be to run a minimum of a mile a day in 2012 equaling 366 miles (leap year!). I loved doing this as part of the #RWRunStreak for the couple weeks I got in. However, I know and understand that life and things kind of get in the way sometimes (ugh sinus infection) so if I miss a day or something, it happens. Either way, I’m shooting for 366 total for the year. It sounds like a lot compared to what I ran this year, but think about it. In February 2011, I couldn’t even run a mile straight through let alone running 5K or the 5-miler Turkey Trot. Now I can get ready, run my mile and be back home in 15-20 minutes. A mile a day is definitely attainable.

2. Run a half marathon — In fact, I’m already registered for the Cap City Half. I am SO. EXCITED. I’m looking forward to training for this, and my mile a day goal will help push me out the door on days when I’m lacking motivation.

3. Geocache more — In 2011, I only found 10 caches not including events I attended. That is so pathetic. So let’s set a goal for 117 caches for 2012. That’s an obscure number, but it’ll take me to my #500 milestone I’m taking a long time to get there, but it’s not about the numbers, right?

Aside from those small goals, my resolution is to enjoy 2012 as much as I enjoyed 2011 because over all this year has been awesome!
