WIFE
-- Train for and run two races together (we're planning to run the Pittsburgh 1/2 and NYC full together)
MOM
-- Track
our activities/outings and cooking adventures. I love getting out of
the house with my kids and we do a lot of fun stuff together - I believe
we are creating memories to last a lifetime! But I'm not good at
documenting (in photos or words) our outings (especially our day-to-day
adventures). This year I want to work with K to keep a written journal
and keep a photo journal for C. I'd also like to take the time to create
photo memory books for each of the kids this year.
ATHLETE
--
Set PRs in half and full marathon (read: run a sub-1:54 half and
sub-4:03 full). Running a sub-4 hour marathon is a priority for me!
HEALTH
-- Track my caloric intake each day
FAMILY
--
Institutionalize at least two family traditions. Pizza Friday is our
family's thing, but as the kids are getting older, I want us to have
other things that we do together. I'm thinking of 1) a family game or
movie night each week; and 2) summer hiking trips to local parks each
week (like we did last year). I'm open to other traditions and would
welcome suggestions.
FRIEND
-- Work with
my friend, Becca, to organize our college swim team's reunion at the
Pittsburgh RnR half marathon in August. This includes designing our
shirts for the race and organizing pre- and post-race activities.
CAREER
-- Submit at least two articles for publication and one grant proposal.
FINANCE
-- Work with D to set financial goals for both long-term, short-term and emergency purchases.
HOME
-- Create/organize our home office so that both D and I can (successfully) work there at the same time.
PERSONAL GROWTH
-- Read at least four books (one each quarter).
ME
-- Complete a yearlong photo challenge
