Happy 2015!

Welcome 2015.

I don’t know what it is, but I’m excited about the possibilities for this year.  Maybe it’s the beginning of something new or the uncertainty that a new year  holds.  Perhaps it’s the start of a new year with the untold stories, the adventures or the memory making experiences.  Whatever it is, there is an awareness of this gift called life. What I do with it is up to me, it comes down to choices I make.

Today I will take time to write down specific goals that I want to achieve.  Not only in my running world but in my personal life and in business.  Writing it down and keeping it in my sights gives me focus, a purpose for what I am doing, and more importantly, why I need to do it.  I will also be working on my vision board, as being reminded visually helps keep me excited about seeing the goals achieved.  When you put your board in an area that you see daily it helps you do the hard work, to gett’r done!

One of my goals is to read more.  I haven’t been reading as much lately so I’d like to get back into a healthy habit of reading.  My mother was a reader.  When my children were little she bought them books and would read to them often.  She wanted to instill in them the love for reading.  She did.  My kids all read, a lot.  The older they get the more I can see my mom’s influence in their lives.  Each one of them has a piece of her with them.  She would be so proud of who they are and continue to become.

Okay, so up on my reading list over the next few weeks (in no particular order as I often have 2-3 on the go 🙂 ):

The Compound Effect
Still Alice
In a Single Bound
Relentless Forward Progress
The Runners Diet

What are you reading?

Do you write down your goals?  What about a vision board, do you create one?  I’d love to hear some of your goals or see your vision board.

May 2015 be everything you dream it can be.
