Emily’s Goals for 2013


Yep. Jumping on the bandwagon here and setting some goals. Hopefully I’ll be able to accomplish a lot towards these, if not totally crush them.

Teach my dogs how to walk on a leash. Seriously, this is a must. Jack will be a challenge, because he’s so chase-oriented. See a rabbit? He’s likely to pull my arm off. But maybe if we start slow and with short distances, it will work. I’d love for him to be able to run with me one day. I think Daisy will be a challenge, too, but only because she’s so hyper.

Try one new recipe every week. This should be simple, since I get about 10 cooking magazines each month.

Make one new delicious dessert every month. Why not reward myself with something yummy? And with that new Kitchen Aid mixer, it should be a piece of cake!

Run two half-marathons this year. I’ve already chosen my first one – the New River Half Marathon on May 5th. It’ll be on the river roads up in Todd, NC, very near where I did some training last year at Cami’s river house. Can’t wait!

Run 750 miles in 2013. Combining this with my previous goal should make it happen, as long as I can stay healthy and keep my klutz factor low.

Teach Alex & Maryssa to cook, with a goal of having them cook dinner once a week or so by the time they’re in 8th grade. What? Did I just make a goal for someone else? Well, sometimes the other people in our lives need a little push, or they won’t accomplish anything. So there.

Keep blogging. I mean, we’ll have TEENAGERS this year, so it should be quite interesting. Stay tuned!

Tell me what you’re doing this year – maybe I left something out that needs to be added!
