1. Run a half marathon in under 2:20.
Well I did this in March at the Rock 'n' Roll Dallas Half. My time was 2:16.
 |
| It's hard to have so many attractive race photos to choose from. |
2. Finish the Chicago Marathon.
I did do this, and LOVED every minute of it. I was slower than your granny, but my goal was to finish and finish I did!
 |
| This was a goal that took many months of sacrifice and dedication to accomplish. Very rewarding. |
3. Find my passion for teaching again or find a position in education that I love.
Well, I did not necessarily find my passion for teaching, but I did find a position I love. It still involves education in the area of yearbooks. I'm going to consider this a success!
4. Work on home improvements as the budget allows & put together a list of long term goals for the house.
Umm, I didn't do so well in this category. However, I did replace the shower heads and the hail storm got us a new roof. I guess that's a start in the right direction!

| My 'I just used this tool that I have no idea what it's called, but I replaced the shower heads and they work' photo. |
5. Get myself a sporty mom mobile that I love & look cute driving!
I did get a new car, that is great for my new job. I'm pretty sure I look cute driving it. Not super sporty, but definitely a step up from the minivan!
 |
| This car and me spend a lot of quality time together these days! |
6. 156 times!
I'll have to check with the hubby on this one. I'm sure he will say I failed.

| Some things I just can't get into on this here blog! :) |
I guess now it's time to begin thinking about my goals for 2012. What's on your list?
I'm ready to sub 2 a half marathon. Though, that was on last year's list too. So, we'll see! You forgot to mention being a TWO time marathoner, missy.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Paula - sub two half or bust, baby.
ReplyDeleteGreat year!! 2012 goal for me...12 races one being 20 miles!
ReplyDeleteDamn girl, you really nailed your goals - great job!
ReplyDelete2012 goals include another marathon (possibly 2!), half marathon PR(s) and mayyyybeeeee a triathlon?!
@Paula - Sub 2 would be awesome! I think I could do it with a lot of dedication, just got to decide if I'm willing to train for it! Oh yes, and that 2 marathon thing. It was not a goal, but damn if I did not do it!
ReplyDelete@Victoria - Good luck on your sub 2!
ReplyDelete@Fancy Nancy - I like the 12 races goal. I did that in 2010. 20 miles is a loooong way. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - Thanks. I was surprised I did so well with my resolutions. I think this is because I put a lot of thought into them. Now to decide what I want to accomplish in 2012. Triathlon? Those scare me to death! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think you did pretty dang well on your goals for the year! I didn't make resolutions last year, but this year I'd like to to have something to motivate me. A second marathon (and maybe a Pr?) would top that list!
ReplyDeleteYou did great in 2011! I'm not even going to address my 2011 goals...
