Well, I've had a few ideas for blog posts this summer but it's been SO nuts with the boys home, I can never remember the ideas once I'm actually at the computer! (By the way, 42 days till school starts again. Not that I'm counting down or anything...)
However, it is June 30th today and I know you are all dying for a mid-point status update on my New Year's resolutions!! No? Well, you're getting one anyway.
1. Even with taking a 3 month break from pretty much all physical activity (I think I ran like 3 times during that whole lazy stretch), I still am right on target for my goal of 500 miles this year! Good thing I gave myself some leeway right? As of today, I have run 255 miles. Also, I did my fastest run last night. Granted, I was trying to squeeze a quick workout in while my husband went to pick up Domino's pizza...but still! Maybe that was even more motivation since I knew I'd soon be stuffing my face. Anyway, I ran 3 miles in 25:45 minutes. All of you serious runners out there can stop laughing now!! That was good for me. I'm no sprinter. I ran 6 miles straight last Saturday but I won't be breaking any speed records EVER. But I'm okay with that!
As far as my other NYR's go, I'm plodding along.
2. I've read a couple more Jane Austen books and I'm about to start another, so that's moving along nicely.
3. Reading the Book of Mormon, I'm plodding along nicely on that also.
4. Writing in my blog once a week? HAHA! Well you guys know how that's going.
5. Writing in journal? No. I know this sounds weird but I mostly remember to write in my journal when things are going really crappy. And honestly, I don't want to record that. It's bad enough living it in real life, I don't need to rehash it and write it down, then be able to go back and re-live it. But that's a bad excuse. Plenty of good things happen in my life too and I DO want to record that!
6. Food storage/emergency preparedness...well it's always on my mind but I have yet to do anything about it.
7. And lastly, spending quality time with the kids. I'm trying on this one, I really am! I do things with the kids but what I need to focus more on is actually ENJOYING the moment, rather than thinking of the 5,000 other things I still need to do around the house/at work. They're growing up too fast as it is...
