I'm not a big New Year's resolution maker, but I do like goals. I have a few fun ones for 2010 and I wanted to share them with you.
1.) Run a half-marathon on May 2, 2010. Oh my goodness, did I just type that??? No total way!!! That cannot be MY goal. Honestly, I have never in my life wanted to run a race and never understood why anyone else would want to. Well, as you know I have been walking, then jogging, and now I am officially running 5 days a week. I shared recently that I ran 5 miles in an hour. Yes, a half-marathon is 13 miles, so I still have quite a bit of training to do, but I do have 4 months. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
2.) Apply to be on The Amazing Race. My friend Amy, I so wish she had a blog to link to, and I have been talking about this for years, literally. I have decided that this year is the year to do it. If for some reason she is unable to commit to it, then I have another homeschool friend, Anna, that would be interested. Now, I know applying is not the same as getting on the show, but that's all I have control over, so once again cross your fingers.
3.) Learn to digital scrapbook. I know many of you do this and I have thought and asked about it for about a year. This is the year, so any advice is appreciated. You probably think this is the easiest of the goals, but I must admit to being less than technically savvy and I also get frustrated easily. So, it will be a challenge.
So, what about you? Do you have any goals for 2010?

Very lofty but do-able goals! I know you will achieve all of them. And when you learn the digital scrapbooking please share with the rest of us newbies. :)
I believe that a YOU GO GIRL is in order here. YOU GO GIRL!!! I am participating in two 5Ks, one on the 23rd and another in March -- I *hope* to actually run the one in March. Are you using a training program or just doing it on your own?
Wow! The marathon goal would be a hard one for me. I hate to run! Good luck!
Those are awesome goals! Good luck with the Amazing Race!
I love digi scrapping! It is such a nice creative release for me
Love your goals. If you get on the Amazing race I will watch it!
Amazing Race, how cool would that be??? Good luck with your goals!
I LOVE your goals!!!
I would be so thrilled if you got onto the Amazing Race and will watch wnen it happens (positive thinking!)
Meanwhile, the Polboy and I have mutually decided we should never, ever, under any circumstances, go on that show because I would come across as the biggest be-atch in history and he the biggest a**hole.
We fight when we drive ;)

Oh...you can so do the half marathon! I know it...As for the Amazing Race--wishing you luck--no I could never do it! I'll be a couch potato for that one.
What awesome goals! The only one I made this year is that I am going to cook dinner every night with the exception of one eat out night a week. So far so good! =)
I can't relate to the first two but best of luck to you! As for digital scrapbooking I have tried it a little bit. I have a good friend who has gotten heavily into it and I love her pages that she posts and like the idea you can work on it while just hanging out in the living room watching tv with the hubby. I have bought and tried 3 different software to give it a whirl...so far I like Scrapbook Max the best. It's kind of like "digital scrapbooking for dummies", plug and play. There are some bits I don't quite "get" yet but hopefully someday I'll get more into it. I'm not sure I'd do entire albums but seems fun for theme or trip albums, or making pretty prints to frame and give as a gift.
Wow! What fantastic goals! I'd love to run a half-marathon but got to drop some flab first. What an inspiration you are!
I would LOVE to be on The Amazing Race. That is the only reality show I would go on! I hope you get there. I'll totally root for you!
You go girl...those are some great goals. My only goal is to lose 21 pounds...wish me luck!
you go girl!! 1/2 marathon rocks!! i was actually training for my first 1/2 marthon (whih is a feat in itself bc of my autoimmune illness) when a little surprise happened and fluffed out my belly region...8 months later i started running again...to the diaper genie and back!!
I am behind you in all you 2010 goals!!
Your goals are wonderful! I wish I can run. Whenever I tried to run I gave up!
Just posted "goals" on my blog ( :

I just want to make it through the year. Seriously, no goals yet. Good for you going on a run. I woul dnever make it!
Those are awesome goals that I know you'll reach! I do have some that I've posted on my blog as well. I love that you're going to start digital scrapbooking! How fun is that?!!! I've been learning how to use Photoshop, which is going to be a lot of fun! I love creating blog headers and Twitter backgrounds with it.
