Happy 2013 Everyone!
Hopefully you all are kicking butt at your New Years Resolutions!
As for me, well…I don’t like to call them resolutions. More like goals/things to work on and strive for. And what are they you ask? I’ll spare you all the details and just list a few. AKA my big ones 
1. Run another Marathon.
Oh but wait! If you follow me on twitter, this was finalized last night. My dad is the best and gave me an early birthday present. 
Yup – I’ll be trading in my Ugg boots for cowboy boots. Okay not really, but I will be visiting the good ol state of Texas to knock another state of my 50 in 50 list! Can I get a woot woot!?
2. Stretch, Foam Roll & Ab work daily.
No, I don’t care that its a rest day. I need to do these three to keep up with my training (ahh I love saying that!). Injury free = happy runner. To be honest, I will say I have been extremely lucky in the injury department since I started running. 1 minor injury last spring and my IT band due to ill fitted running shoes. Moral of the story: buy proper shoes. Always.
3. Try out a new Pinterest recipe 2x per month.
Yes, school is stressful, exciting, demanding and interesting. Sometimes I don’t have time to cook and sometimes I do, but I have all these appetizing recipes in various boards that need to be put to good use! Plus, I really liked Grilled Cheese sammies.
4. Better Posture
I really really need to work on this. I’m only 4’11 so every centimeter counts in my book! I have a feeling this will be my toughest one…
5. Finish up all 5 seasons of Friday Night Lights.
Already on season two and all I can say is – I love how awkward Matt is Such a cutie.
6. Meet Michael Buble
Okay, everyone needs that one goal they know they are just never going to achieve. So why can’t this be mine!?
What is your biggest resolution for 2013?
I’ve definitely been foam rolling more and my husband says my posture is awful so I guess I’ll be working on that one too…
I’m a shorty too and my posture is horrible! If you find any good tips, please pass them on!
Better posture…. I NEED to work on that one! Congrats on the sign up!
I’m so not into resolutions, but I plan to keep training my butt off and I’ve been eating healthier lately.
Oh my gosh I LOVE the posture goal…I have the worst posture ever! My sister even calls me a question mark because I always slouch. It’s a horrible habit, so I’m jumping on that goal with you
Such fun goals! And who knows, maybe this WILL be the year you meet Michael Buble.
I really need to work on better posture too!
I love your resolutions! Especially the pinterest one and the posture one. I pin so much stuff and never make it. and I have terrible posture, lol.
I’m really excited for you and like I said before, I had NO idea you were running marathons. I think it would be wicked cool if wanted…were able…ect to post a blog or two on that! Anyways-I can’t wait to hear how you did!
I should probably work on my posture… my mom is always telling me that I slouch to much (I disagree
)
What a fun city to explore and marathon to run! Enjoy!
I would like to run a marathon this year too!
I SO need to work on my posture. It is a horrible habit that is hard to get rid of!!
You’re only 4’11″?? Thats bananas!! I’d love to be a little shorter though.
I’m running my 2nd marathon (and hopefully 3rd) and I reallllly want to qualify for Boston.
Yay Texas! I’m a native
I’m an entire foot taller than you…crazy!
Happy new year!
Katie
Congrats on the Texas marathon! That sounds like so much fun!
Also, I totally need to work on my posture too. Why is something as simple as sitting up straight so difficult to remember?
Love these goals! Also, I live in Texas! I must look into this marathon!
Great choice of Marathon…seeing that I live in Texas and pretty close to the big “D”! I sure hope it lives up to your standards!!
Definitely agree with setting goals over strict resolutions! I like the Pinterest recipe idea! I need to get more crafty in my kitchen too!
I loved Matt!! I love the Friday Night Lights Goal the most… just saying <3
I love these goals! That’s so exciting about your marathon in Texas! I also love the Pinterest one too! I bet that would be a great way to add some variety to my meals.
And I’m with you on the posture one! Mine is terrible and I really need to work on it too!
These are great resolutions/goals!
Yay for your marathon!! Exciting
I hope that goes well for you, can’t wait to read about it. I am so with you on foam rolling and stretching! I need to do so to stay healthy through my half marathon training cycle
Good list girl! And woohoo for running another marathon in a new state to boot! That’s my goal for 2014 haha…till then I’m going to spend the year focusing on being present/in the moment, keeping myself open to new opportunities, and keeping myself healthy!
aaaah a marathon in texas!! That’s definitely gonna be an adventure – I’ve always wanted to do a “destination race”
. And yeah, stretching, foamrolling, core etc are key – rest days are honestly probably the best time because you’ve got time to be thorough with it!
I have several things I would like to do in 2013- one of which is to run a marathon
I would also like to work on my posture this year. It’s insane of how different a body can look if you just stand up straight. I feel like I loose 5 lbs whenever I just stand upright and don’t slouch 
Congrats on signing up for the marathon! I love your goals! Especially the last one
girl I saw that marathon tweet, so excited for you. I want to cook more so the recipe thing is great idea. I hope I can stick to trying new recipes out each week. crossing my fingers on that one.
Yes, yes, yes, to the posture goal! That was my goal last New Year’s, and I’m keeping it! I think I should keep it forever at this point–because it’s important and makes a huge difference in not only outward appearance, but how I feel inside as well.
Okay…so we definitely need to meet up when we get back to school. That’s awesome you’ll be running another marathon and I love your Pinterest goal. I’m running two halfs (one in February, one in March) so we should definitely plan a long run!
work on your posture, that is SUCH a great goal & probably one I should work on myself! Love these goals you’ve set for yourself! Happy 2013!
Great goals! I really need to work on more foam rolling… it really helps with my soreness after strength training. I always forget to do it though. I had to LOL at your #6! Hope you get to someday!
I had to laugh at the better posture things. It reminds me of when I was younger…my mom was constantly yelling at me to “put my shoulders back!”…gah. I have to say, though. Her nagging worked. I’m pretty cognizant about it now. Or at least I try to be…
I love that your goals are varied and not all like “I’m going to eat healthy” or “I’m going to stop eating sugar”. Running a marathon is pretty awesome! I can’t believe you’ve already done one!! And Michael Buble… hey, a girl can dream right?
The only food goal I have is to eat more Belgian waffles, which is totally doable!
Yes, that is the greatest comment I’ve ever seen.
Ah, that’s so exciting about the marathon! Go big or go home in 2013 … and they say everything is bigger in Texas.
I don’t set resolutions either; I’m more of a goal-setting girl. This year, I plan to make ab work a priority too.
