I have a thing with odd numbers. Anything that isn't divisible by 2 wigs me out. Prime numbers also give me the heebie jeebies. I can't explain it, they just do. So I'm afraid that I will feel mildly uncomfortable throughout the entirety of 2011.
I usually don't set out specific resolutions on New Years. It's usually a "eat better, exercise more" generic resolution that I never really stick to. I think this year I will list out things I hope to accomplish in order to maybe offset the ick factor that is 2011.
Resolution 1: Finally run a sub-30 minute 5k. It's not really an amazing goal to set for most regular runners. I, however, cannot run fast to save my life. I like to blame it on my body shape. My rather large derriere creates drag, thereby not letting me run as fast as I could. I'm finding myself a track and speeding it around it numerous times once a week.
Resolution 2: Run another half marathon and actually run the WHOLE THING. I think the best way to accomplish this resolution is to not get married and have a honeymoon during the height of training. Laying around on the beaches of Mexico drinking pina coladas is not really conducive to high mileage runs.
Resolution 3: Get back to a "happy Caitlin weight". I'm not saying I'm fat by any means. There is just a little extra of me I would like to see go. I think it won't be so hard once I get back to work and actually use that calorie counter app I put on my iphone.
Resolution 4: Kick ass during my first year of grad school. I'm pretty scared about this one. I'm so worried I completely forgot how to write a paper or contribute anything remotely insightful to an intelligent conversation.
Resolution 5: Sew at least one thing a month. I seem to collect ideas from around the web and have every intention on making something similar, but in the end I get lazy, forget or decide to take a nap instead. I really need to stop doing that.
So take that 2011.
