my 101 things in 1001 days list

my race results

a non-comprehensive list of items for 2012

  • try some trail running (and not just because it means running slower)
  • do a triathlon and see if it’s really as fun as they say
  • though I am a huge fan of breathing at a calm and normal pace, get more comfortable with running uncomfortably fast on occasion (not just races)
  • conquer Big Sur (where the breathing will be neither calm nor normal thanks to the hills and not at all the speed), and be okay with myself if I opt for no fall marathon this year
  • be more conscientious about where my food comes from/what I’m consuming (which essentially will probably mean: spend all of my money at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods)
  • dress more ridiculously (partly in pursuit of the ultimate goal, becoming an eccentric aunt)
  • become a Kiva lender 
  • go on another international adventure, but be a little less naive about wandering around with critical possessions/in the shadiest neighborhood possible
  • if he tours, go see Usher, because I have had an epiphany about how many of his songs bring me great joy, so I would like them to bring me joy live in concert
  • be the Pippa to my sister’s Kate Middleton (although I’m pretty sure my bridal shower execution will be superior)
  • work to make green tea a staple of my world (antioxidants!)
  • weekend jaunts as frequently as possible
  • be a better mentor
  • avoid adding more stuff to my life unless is it quality or I have a super valid reason for purchasing it
  • aim to read 45 books, acknowledging I could be more ambitious but accepting that I’m erring on the side of more-likely-to-be-accomplished since reading is not something that should create stress
