December and 2010 Rewind ...

Like I mentioned last week, 2010 was a fabulous year for me. I made HUGE strides in all areas of my life and rid myself of some serious negative energy. I'm in a good place. Not at all where I thought I would be this time last year, but I'm very happy with how everything has played out. And on that positive note, I give you my December and 2010 recap ...

Miles Planned/Miles Ran: 162/198.43

Rest Days Planned/Rest Days Taken: 8/8

Highest Mileage Week: 11/20-12/26: 44.1 miles

Long Runs Planned/Long Runs Completed: 4/4

Donuts Burned: 130 (my favorite statistic on Dailymile)

Current Book: Our vacation to Disney allowed me to get a little reading in this month. During the trip, I read Bart Yasso's My Life on the Run, which was FANTASTIC and a must-read for anyone looking for a little inspiration.

And last week, I started Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald, which was sent to me by Marlene. I am halfway through it and when I am done, I will be passing it along to another blogger. Shoot me an email if you are interested ...

Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: I Used to Be Fat (on MTV). There is just something about watching people try to lose weight that draws me in every time.

Current Colors: Chocolate and Lime

Current Drink: Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla Coffee. With the temperatures dropping, I find myself drinking it non-stop just to stay warm.

Current Song: We Are Who We Are - Ke$ha

Current Triumph: My 1:14 5K PR last weekend. It was awesome to see all the the miles I've logged pay off and has given me some serious confidence heading into marathon training.

Current Goal: I've got a lot of them right now. New year, new goals. But in the immediate future, I want to run this month's 15K at goal half marathon pace or faster.

Current Blessing: Pretty much everything. And I don't take that for granted.

Current Excitement: 2011. January always feels like the fresh start to a future full of possibilities. I plan on doing everything in my power to live the life I aspire to this year.
