• 2010 Accomplishments

  Date: 2010.12.29 | Category: reflection | Response: View Comments

  Hi people that read my blog!

  I know I posted my resolutions for 2011, but I haven’t yet posted a list of my accomplishments for 2010!  While there are definitely a lot of things I want to improve in my life next year, I’ve done a lot this year, and I don’t want to discount that.

  Here is what I accomplished in 2010:

  1) I ran my first full marathon in April.  All the preparation, the weekend mornings sacrificed, the tough training, and the tough race – it was all well worth it in the end.  I definitely want to run another full marathon some day!

  2) I ran a personal record number of races in 2010 – 7 races!  Check out my Chasing page.

  3) I coached a team for Girls on the Run, ending with a 5k.

  4) I left a crappy job and got a much better one!  I also learned to better understand HTML and write a little and edit it.

  5) I had my one year anniversary (and ran a half marathon that day).

  

  6) Mark and I had our first garage sale.  People really like to haggle.  We learned the importance of being firm with people.

  7) I went skiing in Colorado with my family.

  I have made a lot of progress with my blog.  It’s now hosted by Dreamhost and I changed the name so it’s not .wordpress.com.  I also became a Foodbuzz featured publisher and I have improved my photography skills (or should I say I now have some photography skills ).

  9) I completed a 30 day Real Simple cookthrough.  I learned a lot about cooking – it helped me become more confident cooking meat, more adventurous on just throwing a meal together from an idea that grew in my head, and I definitely gained a lot more spices.

  10) I went out of my comfort zone of running and took swimming lessons and biked a lot.  As you know, I also went to my first spin class a couple of weekends ago. 

  11) I grew a really great garden.  My peas and lettuce didn’t fare that well, but I had tons of cucumbers and tomato.

  I did a lot this year!  I think I hit all the high points – but there are even more small things that I can think of.  It was nice to think of all the good things that I’ve done – even though there are things I want to improve, acknowledging my hard work keeps it all in perspective.

  I want to know what awesome things YOU did this year… hit me up in the comments
