Monthly Recap: January

I thought it might be a good idea to check in after the end of each month, maybe touch base with my 2012 goals, and see how things are progressing.  Let's start with the goals:

1. Run 500 Miles in 2012
• January had me running a total of 35.5 miles, therefore bringing my 2012 mileage total to 35.5/500.  Only 464.5 miles to go!
2. Run a 10k
• Not yet, but I'm working on it!
3. Run a Half Marathon
• Not yet, but I'm working on it!
4. Complete a Duathlon
• Not yet...August!
5. Complete (at least) 12 Races
• I've done 1 race this month...on the first day of the year, therefore bringing my 2012 race total to 1/12!
6. Hit my Goal Weight of 130
• As of this morning, I weigh 146.4 pounds.  That means I have lost 7.2 pounds in January and am only 16.4 pounds away from 130.  Keep it going!
7. Be a Better Mom
• Working on it :)
8. Be a Better Wife
• Working on it...could be doing better
9. Be a Better Friend
• Working on it...could be doing better
10. Be a Great Bridesmaid
• Working on it...could be doing more
11. Get Into Nursing School
• Applications are in...so now it is just a waiting game until April or so...
12.  Get a House
• We got pre-approved again and we've looked at some.  Nothing yet...
13. Pay Off a Student Loan
• This one takes time...
14. Dress Better to Feel Better
• I don't wear jeans to work except for Fridays (and one random Monday when I had no clean dress clothes to cover my rump...I did dress up a nice pair of jeans with boots and a sweater, though)
15. Floss More
• I haven't missed a day yet this year!
