Goals for 2016

If I'm being honest, I have been staring at a blank screen for quite some time now trying to grasp at what my goals are for 2016.  Normally I am all over the goals each January 1 and I'm geared up to conquer them.  This year I don't feel like my heart is in it in quite the same way.  It's bugging me actually.  This type A girl is craving lists....and calendars filled with goals...and a plan to tackle the year....but all I have is a blinking cursor.

I looked back over last year's post and found that it was a mixed bag of goals achieved and ones that I had honestly forgotten about.  I crushed my 10 miler goal but fell short in the half marathon one, however I was very happy with my racing year.  I lost some of the weight I wanted to but not entirely (this is a post all it's own).  Looking back over the year, there are places where I honestly let myself down and places where amazing and unexpected things happened!  It is leaving me ready to leave a little more up to chance this year....which for anyone who knows me is NOT in my character...like hive inducing not in my character!  So for that I will be back....yes I will make goals for running and for all things health...but I do need a little more time to ponder that out!  Stay tuned!

One thing that I do have a goal for is family.  This past year challenged the way that I see my role as a wife and mother in the big picture of things.  I studied some pretty amazing women and saw pieces of myself in them and pieces I wanted to have...moms who handled life and defeat with grace for those around them.  I would say a big goal for myself is to be more connected as a family...in our goals...in our deeds...in our desires. It is more than just getting by...

So until I can get my head around what I really want this year to look like for me in fitness and running, I'll leave you with one goal...a connected, grace filled family.
