Happy New Year!

Hello 2014!!

How did you ring in the new year?  Are you going for a ‘hair-of-the-dog’ run today?

Over the years I’ve found that good things happen if I start the year with a run.  Last year with the bones in my foot not completely healed I didn’t run on January 1.  I did get out for a long walk…that was good.  To start 2014, I was out early this morning for my first run of the year.  It was great!!  And while I’m not one for making big resolutions, I did think about three for 2014:

• Race more.  I like both the 10K and Half Marathon distances and plan to race more of both this year.
• Train smarter.  The last 3 years have been injury filled ones for me.  I plan to add cycling and swimming this year and that should not only help my running but will improve my overall fitness.
• Eat better.  I really have to get rid of the salty snacks!  This will be tough…check back with me later this year.

That’s it for me this year.  How about you:  have you made any resolutions for 2014?

Until next time…
