A Look Back at 2012 and 2013 Goals

A Look Back at 2012
I ran my first 8K race, Go the Distance 8K Race in June.  I ran it in 1hour and 5mins.
I completed a 5K PR at the Downtown 5K Race in April.  I ran it in 35mins and 12secs.
I ran my first Disney Race, Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon in November.  I ran it in 3hours and 6mins.
I completed a 10K PR at the Really Chilly 10K Road Race in February.  I ran it in 1hour and 10mins.
Over all I am pretty happy with all my times.

Total KM ran for 2012 = 1456.3!  Just 43.7kms short of my 1500 goal I had set for the year.

2012 Goals - Revisited!
My non running goals include:
1. Drink more water!  I need to reach that 8-10 glasses/day minimum! - Will carry over to 2013
2. Read at least 12 books this year.  My Kobo has made this goal a lot easier I think! - Only read 7.  Will carry over to 2013
3. Pay off at least 1 credit card - We have made a little dent in our debt load but it seems never ending!  Will carry over to 2013
4. Eat healthier.  I am a vegetarian, but I am probably the worst vegetarian as I am very picky and love my carbs! - Ongoing
5. Become organized and get rid of the clutter in the house.  I found a link to a clutter calendar from Pinterest that I am going to work off of. - Ongoing

Running goals:
1. Run at least 1,500KM in 2012 -  Ran 1456.3KM
2. Run a Disney Race!  When I started this blog I was hoping to run the Princess 1/2 Marathon in February.  Due to finances, this is not going to happen, but I now have my sights set on the Disney Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon in November instead. - Completed!

2013 Goals
1. Drink more water!  I need to reach that 8-10 glasses/day minimum!
2. Read at least 12 books this year. 
3. Pay off at least 1 credit card
4. Run at least 1,500KM in 2013
5. Run a 10K Race in under 1hour and 10mins. I tried all 2012 to complete this and couldn't!
