2012 Goals

Yesterday while thinking about my new years goals I spent way to much time reading other bloggers goals and resolutions.  So I just made my list by stealing others goals.  Just kidding though it helped me think about what I wanted mine to be. I prefer to call them goals over resolutions.  Resolutions are monumental things with no wiggle room.  To much room for failure. Plus I'm pretty perfect, nothing monumental I need to work on. 

2012 Goals

Run a sub 3:30 marathon

We will see, I'll have to shave 17 minutes off of my time but with a little more training and a flatter course I think I can make it happen.  I bought a couple of friends yesterday to help me out with my goal.  Those friends being a Timex run trainer GPS watch and an orange reflective safety vest.  I haven't totally figured out my watch yet but I love checking my pace and distance while i'm running.  The vest is for when I have to run at dusk.  I felt a little silly leaving the house in it but could tell I was a lot more visible to the cars driving past.

Make macaroons
I saw this on a few other bloggers goal lists and I've been wanting to make them for a while.  Now it's on the list. Pretty colored cookies coming soon.

Have a regular blogging schedule
I bought a calendar just for blogging to help achieve this goal.

Make a video blog
So I can pretend I'm on TV.

Take more family videos
To look back on when Gretchen is older.

Visit a new spot once a week or most weeks
Can be a restaurant, a shop, a park, small or big doesn't matter.  Can also be places I've been pre Gretchen but not since.
