I know my
2012 goals should be S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, actionable, realistic,
timely) but I’m feeling more like Homer Simpson these days...
1. S
Spontaneity * I
was going to say “do one spontaneous thing each week”, but planning spontaneity
is a bit of an oxymoron. I want to say ‘yes’ to doing and trying more new
things: yoga, cooking, lead climbing, traveling, dating, anything really that will add to my 2012 adventure.
2. M
Marathon
* Yes, I am going to register for the St. George marathon this year. It’s a lottery
and I will register in April and race in October if I am “chosen”. 2012 could
be my marathon year. I've already registered to run the Utah Valley Half and the
Wasatch Back Ragnar again in June.
3. R
Ride
my first century * 100 miles on my road bike – Goldilocks in Herriman, UT on
May 12. I will need company during my training if anyone is available…let’s
ride. *My 15 lb. food baby should be gone by May (side goal...result of training).
4. T
Testimony * Strengthen my personal testimony of Christ * In 2012 I will
read aloud scriptures/Ensign daily, pray on knees once a day, and attend temple
2+ a month.
7. Live in the moment and be more present * Simply taking a few moments to look up from my phone and
experience what’s going on, turning off my iPod (once in a while) and start to
actually listen, stop trying to distract myself or pass the time and enjoy the
present.
8. Put $300 in saving each month for my future car payment. Following Dave Ramsey I will be able to buy a new car with cash in...34 months. OK OK, not sure if paying in full with cash will be my thing, but at least I'll put a good amount down.
12. Be happier * I
want to be the best version of myself. I want to be continuously inspired,
remain optimistic, keep my head high, look at the good in situations, remind
myself that there’s always tomorrow, not take myself too seriously and laugh
often. It’s
silly to think I’m going to be happy 110% of the time…all I’m working towards
is having a smile on my face more often than not and feeling good about the decisions I make.
13. Stop the Snooze button * Get up on time. When the alarm goes off, get up, and get in the shower.
right."

I need to learn how to use my Pinterest account. I would totally "pin" these image quotes. (goal 14)

First of all, Pinterest is AWESOME! It takes a little getting used to but just start pinning, you'll get the hang of it.
Your goals look managable. Of course I always think mine do and I'm the queen of giving up... in February.
Anthony is running marathons now too. The Salt Lake was his first, last April and he's done 4 total at this point. He's planning to do five this year. I think he's insane but who am I? Good luck with your marathons. Sounds like... so much fun... I guess ;)
Anyway, it's been a while since I've visited and even longer since I've commented.
Thought I'd say hello.
Love all of your goals! I would love to do a Marathon but the half killed me, tho I am planning to do it again.
And I am honestly shocked about the 2nd date thing, you are truly one of the most amazing people I know. Good luck with your goals you will do awesome.
