Now that I'm officially off Christmas Vacation, it's time to gear up for 2010. I absolutely love the feeling of a new start. I love the motivation to make and achieve goals. In my opinion, this is one of the best times to evaluate your life and give yourself a pat on the back for the things you're doing well and recognize your accomplishments from the past year. It's also the best time to make a plan to change the things that aren't adding to your well-being and happiness.
If you're anything like me, you spent a majority of the past two weeks like this...enjoying the wonderful tastes of the holidays. Personally, I don't think that's a bad thing but I know that I need to refocus and discipline myself for day to day healthy living.
Luckily, I was able to start the season off right by running the
Jingle Bell 5K. As you can tell by looking at these wonderful ladies above and below, it was a fun race. I love meeting moms who encourage each other to reach their full potential. Even more I love seeing moms and their kids working together to establish an active lifestyle.
A few weeks ago, my friend Erica asked me if I wanted a partner on my early morning runs. Needless to say, I was more than a little excited to have some company. We ran a few times before Christmas and then ran again this morning. It was freezing
(or should I say below freezing) cold but we still met up and ran a few miles. I have to admit that having a running partner was the only thing that got me out from under my warm blanket this morning. If you're having a hard time getting motivated during these cold winter days, find a friend and make a goal. Join a class, buy a workout video and
use it, bundle up and take a jog...the possibilities are endless. Take charge of 2010 and next year at this time you can look back with satisfaction.
