2014.

Currently watching the Winter Classic, but I thought it was really important to jot down some goals I want to achieve in 2014. I know my first blog post was primarily me just saying every thing I wanted to do EVER, but this one is a little smaller.

BEFORE I list my 2014 resolutions, I'm just going to recap my New Years Eve, because it was amazing. My best friend and I traveled down to New York City for the Midnight Run presented by Emerald Nuts. Before hand I was really nervous. The run was a 4 mile run, and I have not ran outside for 4 miles since warmer weather. We practiced a few times, but not as well as I thought we could of. REGARDLESS we did great. We were able to run straight through and keep a solid 10 minute mile. On the subway on the way to pick up our numbers and shirts we met a man. He really intimidated me. He was telling us how much he loved running, how much he runs, and how he came in 3rd last year. That was cool and all, but all I wanted to do was race for fun. Once we got to Central Park everything was great. The event was just so fun, and everything was so encouraging. I forgot how much I love running in giant packs. When running with everyone else you feel like you do not want to stop because you're having such a good time.Basically it was perfect, and we were flawless at traveling. Now I'm having a lazy day where I sit and watch hockey all day. I like 2014 much already.

Okay so I jotted these down on my phone this morning, but blogging feels more permanent. I really like stalking myself so if I ever go back, here there are.

Run More.  I just want to run more and get better at it. I want to be able to run more races 5ks, Spartan Race, and a half marathon. I want myself to remember how good running makes me feel, and if I'm ever bummed out instead of sitting on the computer looking at how happy everyone is, I want to be able to get out there and go run!  With this comes just being healthier. I want to eat well, but I also want to be able to enjoy my life and not obsess over what goes in my mouth. I just want to be more conscious about what's going in my body! 

Mental Power. You know what's crazy? Most the problems I find myself in, are all in my head. I mean they're all real issues, but I'm literally able to tackle them. Life is just a mental mind game. I want to know I'm able to do it. I want to be able to develop a will power, knowing I can do what I set my goals to be.

Be Happy. I wrote this on my list twice so it must be legit.  I want to focus on my future, and not wander back on negative thoughts. I want to make sure I'm appreciative to everyone who matters to me, and love my family and friends. I want them to understand how grateful I am for them. I want to care more and worry less. I want to get a little bit stronger with how I view situations, and just be brave.

Increase Productivity. I'm not sure why I find doing class readings impossible, but I do. I never do them past the third week of college. I want to actually be involved with class and be prepared. I want to make sure my time is being used wisely! I want to use a calendar and schedule. Also I want to print out some Don't Break The Chain Calendars for  the year.

Read. I love reading, but always tell myself I don't have enough time. Guess what? I probably do have enough time. I want to read more books outside of my usual romantic teenage books, or action type. I want to read more self help books, and also read the bible. I've been wanting to for years, and I've read a good portion of it when I was younger, but heck why not.
