resolve

so i have a bunch of new years resolutions this year. i usually don't have any because there usually isn't anything that i want to work towards. this year there are a bunch and i will mention just a few here. one being that i will floss my teeth at least 3 times a week. i do not floss enough, so 3 times a week will be way better then none at all. to make sure I do it, it will be a monday, wednesday, friday thing.
while on maternity leave i used the company sponsored gym membership every other day and it was great. i could use a travel pass for the gym right by my house. now going back to work i want to schedule it into my day which if i want to use the gym, its like 238277236 miles away and will eat up way too much of my day. so i have convinced two of my co-workers to go on lunch time runs with me. this accomplishes two things - i can save money by not going out to lunch all of the time, and i can work on my fittness a little. this works well because the one had already commiteed himself to running the vancouver marathon in april - committed by registering, reserving his hotel, buying his amtrack ticket all of that. the other we confronted today and he was like - what the hell, ok. so we will start out slow because we are all pretty much out of shape. i am all concerned about the shin splints because that is what plagues me most, but i felt fine yesterday after my 5 minute jog. yes, i said 5 minute jog but i also said we would start out slow. tomorrow we will do 8 minutes, and the rest will be walking.... and it will gradually increase over time... i would like to do the st patricks day dash which is "nearly" 3 miles i think and it would be fun because we could bring seamus along and then eric and i want to do the sea fair half marathon in july or august if they are having it this year. depending on how that goes we might try the seattle marathon, but i did a marathon in 1998 and that was all fine and dandy and i don't know if i really need to do another one, unless i am feeling ok with this whole running thing. i hate to run but its not like cycling in that it doesn't make me so super hungry that i wind up eating my own hand or anything. i also want to do the danskin triathlon, ugh but i don't know about this whole lake swimming thing.... anyway, those are some of the things i want to accomplish this year.
i also want to be a better mom, wife, daughter, friend and accomplish more at work. i have some specific goals around each of those, but i don't want to put all that here because someone might make me be accountable for them if i do.
