2013 Goals

2 new, 2 old. What should I do for 2013?

The only resolution I could resolve to make (since I’ve long stopped doing official New Year’s Resolutions … who does those, anyway?) was that I intend to try something new once a month. At minimum it could be  a new restaurant or a new recipe. For January I’m toying with the idea of going Paleo for a week. I’ve considering kicking my devices habit for a spell (did I mention the new Surface the minions at the Firm all received?). I suppose reading a new book once a month will not count because I most likely will be doing that away, what with my 67-books-in-2013 goal I’ve set for myself on Goodreads (guess I’m already behind on that one…)  But for sure, I will include a new race.

My 2012 racing season was far less strenuous than the previous year in that, I basically trained for one big race and didn’t do any cycling events, and I didn’t stress out about not being signed up for something EVERY month, which got kind of old kind of fast. I ran two races I hadn’t done before, and two that I had. My goal this year again (one of many, I guess), will be to run a race I haven’t done before, just don’t know which one yet. Probably something longer than a 5K since those are a dime a dozen.

The crazy person inside me thinks about travelling to CO in May to run the Bolder Boulder with my sis. Because going from a sea-level city to a mile-high city to run a 10K sounds like SUCH a good idea, eh? But, it would pose an interesting challenge. Thinking about it.

Other races I should consider? Bring ’em on.
