Welcome 2014!

Hello Friends!

I'm back from my little hiatus from blogging (Lucky you?) With life as crazy as it was I needed to take a break from some activities in order to not go crazy and for better or worse, blogging was one of the chosen activities to back off on for a while. Fear not! That does not mean I have been shirking my running. I haven't been as good as I should have been with the holidays and all the yummy food but last weekend I did 6 miles without to much trouble so yay! Double yay because we are 48 days away, Wow!

Anyway! Back to the topic at hand, Welcoming 2014! If you are a somewhat regular follower, you will remember that last year I wrote how I do not really do "resolutions" per say. I'm more the goal setter myself. I'd rather set some achievable goals to guide my year rather than some resolution that I'm going to forget about in a month. So with that in mind here are a few of my goals!

- Continue on the path of getting healthier! This is the longest I have ever stuck with anything fitness related so I'm excited to keep going! I know I still have a decent way to go but I've made some good strides in the last year and come on! I'm running 13.1 miles in 48 days

- Make more time for just my family. Our lives are so busy that it is difficult sometimes to make sure that we spend quality time with the ones we love most. I'm going to strive to set aside "no phone/email" time every night instead of obsessive checking my phone every 5 minutes. I also want to set a dedicated movie night with the hubs every week. He loves movies, I love being around him. Win, win!

- Blog more! I really enjoy being able to share with everyone. I also like that it holds me more accountable and I love to share my cooking (mis)adventures!

I'm sure my goal list will evolve over the year but right now I'm going to focus on those. Case and point, I've got about 3 posts I'm working on right now. Hint, one involves sweet potatoes and my brand new mandolin slicer. BOOYA!

So see you later 2013 and hello 2014! Great things are ahead, let's go get them together!
