I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions, but I do believe in writing lists. I find that I make lists of things for myself constantly. It is a way to organize my head and get things out there and published. Black and white. Unable to forget.
So, I am thinking of those things I want to change and do better. My running started as something I resolved to do, but now it is a natural part of my existence. Being that way, even though I run more than many, I run much less than some and not nearly enough for myself. Training for specific races helps me to push myself and keep up with running. I can make a new list in the form of a training schedule.
I've been hesitant to sign up for the Manhattan Half Marathon officially, even though I am planning on doing the full Grand Prix of NYRR half marathons in 2010 and the NYC Marathon in November. But lately, with the holidays, it's been very hard to keep up with a real plan and I've not really felt much like a runner.
Today, I will make a list. It won't be a list of resolutions that I cannot follow. It will be a ToDo list, just like one I can make any day of the year. Item 1: Run.
