One of my 2015 goals was to add 5 new race medals to my collection. Mission accomplished! My first medal of the year didn’t come until May, when I ran the BMO Vancouver half marathon: Then came the Florida virtual half marathon: The PNE Donut Dash 5 km wins the prize for the cutest medal […]
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve ramped up my blog writing as of late, but I haven’t quite been hitting my target of 7.25 blog postings per week in order to make my goal of 115 blog postings for this year. By my latest calculation, once I include today’s posting and one for tomorrow, I […]
So apparently I’ve rediscovered that I have a blog. Sadly, I totally forgot that November is NaBloPoMo ((National Blog Posting Month.)) – the month where you are supposed to publish a blog posting every day – until about 2 days ago, which was 11 days to late to realize such a thing. I have, however, […]
Except that I didn’t really go to the race to kickass. Because I was really there for donuts. And cotton candy. And a race medal with an adorable running donut on it. This morning my friend Julie ((You may recall Julie from the zombie obstacle course race and the Longest Game for CF. Clearly, our […]
As most people who know me are aware, I have a bit of an addiction to race medals. I think it’s the last vestige of my pack rat-ness, which I’ve worked very hard to overcome over the year, combined with liking shiny objects. It allows me to satisfy my pack rat nature of wanting to […]
As previously mentioned, I’ve already completed my goal to Make 15 new food or drink items that I’ve never made before in 2015 – in fact, I’ve actually surpassed my goal by making *16* new items. I got myself a nice head start by having a birthday party where I made 6 new items that I’d never […]
So it’s just past the halfway point in the year and I figure that means it’s a good time to do a check-in on my goals for the year! Of my 15 goals, 4 goals are completed: Organize all my closets Set up a new investment plan Pay off 7.5% of my mortgage principal – I’ve actually […]
I’m am *so* glad that I set a three-tiered goal for my BMO Vancouver half marathon because I am genuinely proud of my personal best finish of 2:02:24 (goal 2), despite not quite getting to a sub-2 hr finish (goal 1). In fact, when I thought about it after the race, I realized that I’m […]
So it’s just 7 days until my next half marathon and I’m really not sure if I’m going to be able to achieve my goal of a sub-2 hour finsih. I’ve been far more diligent in my training since… well, pretty much since the first half marathon I ever ran. I completed all my hill […]
A blog posting over on Rick’s blog reminded me that it’s the end of Q1 for 2015 and this a good time to check in on how I’m progressing on my 2015 goals! My first 4 goals were running related: run 2 half marathons – I’ve registered for (and am actively training for) the BMO […]
