I did it...

Yes siree, on January 13, 2008 I completed my first full marathon. It was by far one of the hardest things I have ever done. I ran with Mel from my WISH running team and we were both dying by mile 17. Did we give up... Nope, we struggled with it, but both crossed that finish line and collected our Mickey Medal.




Now the struggle... I need to get the motivation to keep working out, especially run. I have done it a total of ONE time this week. Ok, yes I know I am on a down since the marathon, but I really need to get my butt in gear.

Cool note... I booked another trip to Disney to run the final ever Minnie Marathon. This will be the last Minnie race as it is being replaced with another race. I need a Minnie Medal. I am also planning to run either the Green Bay or Madison 1/2 marathon... or I could go NUTS and run both. Nah....

New Year, New Me

Yah, blah blah blah... doesn't everyone say that. Well, really 2008 couldn't be worse for me than 2007. I mean, yes some really drastic things could happen to me or my family. But with all the personal crappola I have gone through, it's gotta get better for me.

OK... so January 13 is the start of something new. On that day I will be running my first full marathon. 26.2 miles of pure agony and excitement all rolled into one!!! I swore that I would never do this to myself, but thank God I had my training this year. Running is about the only thing that has combated all the stress in my life last year. So on January 13 I will start something new. I will have a beautiful Mickey Medal around my neck, tears in my eyes and enough motivation to lose the last 30 pounds I need to!!!!

So what else for the New Year... Here is the start of my list....
Don't give up on running
Make more time for my crafts and projects
Blog more
Work on eliminating my debt
Give more love to my kids and DH

Hmmm, this is good for me. I think I need to write out my goals more often. OK... so I will work on these for now and add more as needed.
