Hey, Mom & Sisters! I keep forgetting to leave a signature so that anyone looking can tell who wrote the post. So do we want to start looking for appropriate races to work towards together?
Here is a link to the 2011 races in Springfield. I thought that would be the best place to start looking since it is a 1/2 way point & home for 2 of us!

From first glance at the calendar, the 8K on March 12th stands out, it is a good distance (IMO) & it is to benefit Holland elementary. There are a lot of 5 & 10Ks out there as well....
And of course we could branch out to look at other locations too.
Does anyone have goals for this next year that they want to share?
Mine are to focus on the many blessings & positives in my life, including my spouse, home, family, body, & relationship with God.
My 2nd goal is to take better care of the things I have- I need to better organize my closet so that my shoes don't scuff each other, my purses the same, and my clothes in a way that I can clearly see what I have so I use them all. Also I want to get things I have that I like altered & get rid of stuff I don't wear. So instead of buying new stuff with my spending money I want to spend more of it on caring for & enhancing what I've already got. Sheesh, that is the lesser goal but took more explaining I think.
Also I've got the ongoing goal of being really healthy which is just working out at least 4X a week & minimizing unhealthy food choices.
I really like your goal of focusing on your blessings. Have you come up with any systematic plans for accomplishing that?
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm not sure which of you Bright girls asked this question, & I just saw it. Guessing Alicia by the tone of it.....
ReplyDeletethe main system is to deliberately think & verbalize positive thoughts, and when I catch myself thinking (mostly, I think I am fairly positive outwardly already) negatives, to stop & replace them with the positives that relate to the same subject. That is as systematic as I could get, and what I have found really helps me the most with all of that.
