I rang in 2015 the same way I did last year and several years prior, and the exact same way I intend to forever. With my three sons by my side and with the hope that this year will be a great year.
Things I hope to accomplish in 2015....
Joined #2015 in 2015. It is a running challenge. 2015 miles of movement by my feet this year. I'm 17 miles in.....this could get interesting!
Participate in and raise money for the LLS doing "Race to Anyplace" - team joined! Should be a great day in February at Heinz Field!
Completely quit smoking. I was done for over two weeks and didn't even think about it. Unfortunately I let hate, anger, hurt, frustration and exhaustion drag me back down. The quitting has commenced again and I refuse to let anything or anyone have the influence to have me start again.
Spend more time with both of my grandmothers and my mom. Life is short. The rat race of continuously running the boys has me completely exhausted far too often. Need to slow down!
Finally clear out the garage! Maybe someday a second car will need to fit in there!
Complete my first half marathon under a 2 hour and 15 minute time frame. Training has commenced.....
Enjoy this summer way more than I did the last.
Truly live my life. Stop worrying about what others would think or say. No one can make any decisions for me, but me. And those decisions need to be made without worrying about what my family, or any family or person would say or think. People will say what they want, no matter what, it hurts to lose those you love, but hurts worse to not be you.
And finally, run a sub 2 hour half marathon in September at Virginia Beach! Won't be with who I thought would be by my side, but I will still make the best of it.
Love life. Not just live it, but LOVE it. All of it. Every second I'm allowed to be here, love it.
