New Year's Resolutions

Let me get you up to speed. Since the last post I have moved into my new place, gotten settled into my new job, partnered up with a bomb new local tri shop, and survived Christmas. The New Year is less than one week away so naturally I feel compelled to reflect on the year...

This time last year I had just graduated and I was gearing up to move to Florida to pursue a lifestyle that consisted of swimming, biking, and running. I learned a lot from the 10 weeks I spent down south: I realized that I want to live close to my family, and that I can serve a greater purpose. I came home, got a great job counseling others to lead healthier lives, and planted my feet firmly in KY. So, you ask, what's next?

My resolutions for 2010 are to:
  • Grow as a triathlon coach: I've partnered with some amazing friends who are starting VO2 Multisport, a local tri shop to offer coaching and personal training services. This sport evolves everyday and I hope to attend seminars, advance my certifications, and gain a few more along the way.
  • Stay on top of this darned blog!! I love to write about my trials and experiences and learn about you readers along the way. I'll post more pictures and regular updates of my clumsy, often comedic adventures.
  • Become more adventurous: This year is about trying new things and branching out. I got into a rut last year, training for the same races in the same way and getting the same results. This year is all about changing it up: racing all new races, dabbling in ultra runs, adventure races, hike more, try new training theories... learn to embrace new adventures.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Train on.
