“Everyday is a new opportunity to make new decisions.”
Happy New Year’s Eve! I seriously cannot believe that today is the last day of the year. I hope everyone has a great time ringing in the new year. Now for some goals and resolutions for 2011:
I may not be able to reach all of these goals but that is why they are goals, so here it goes:
Running
1.) PR in the Marathon.
I am training for a 3:20 Boston but I will be happy with any PR.
2.) Break my 19 minutes for the 5K. (Current PR = 19:35)
3.) Break 40 min for the 10K (Current PR = 40:52)
Yes I am crazy, but you already know that.
4.) Move up in the Grand Prix Standings.
I took 2nd in my age division 2 years in a row now.
Fitness
1.) Become certified as a Personal Trainer.
I officially registered for the exam today. I’m taking it in February. Hopefully I pass.
2.) Start working in the fitness industry (teaching classes and/or training clients).
I’ve been certified to teach group fitness for over a year now but I have been afraid to get out there and start. In 2011 I will start teaching, whether it is one client or an entire class.
3.) Be able to do 25 full (not modified) push-ups. At one time.
4.) Get certified to teach spin.
Resolutions
1.) Improve the blog. (Suggestions welcome)

2.) Attempt an ice bath!
I ended the year with a killer 2 part workout: a 4.75 mile run (8:40 pace) and a 60 minute strength class. Again, my favorite instructor was teaching and included lots of the dreaded plyo jumps and running drills…lots of cardio for a strength class but I loved it. The strength training component was aimed at muscular endurance, meaning low weight, high reps. It has been a looooong time since I have taken a strength training class because I was on a spin kick for awhile. It was a killer. Leaving 2010 with a fitness bang.
I’m off to prepare for tonight. We are going to our friends’ house and I need to put together a veggie platter.
See ya next year!
