Ok, so since this is my FIRST WEEKLY RECAP OF 2014 (Insert moment of self-congratulations here), I've decided it's gonna be a Weekly Recap Plus. That means I'm gonna go all the way back to January 1st, when I re-started my runstreak.
Oh yeah, by the way guys... Runstreak is happening again. Day 12. Woot!

This is gonna be one of those posts that seems to ramble at times, but really has a point that's pretty important. I beg of you, bear with me, and I promise the journey will be worth the final reward.
One of my favorite things to do is to get lost. Ok, maybe that's an over-simplification of things. What I really like to do is to challenge myself to find new places I have never been, places outside of the beaten path. Secret spots, that people might just otherwise drive past during the course of their regular day-to-day lives. I recently had a friend who posted an article on facebook. It's my lunch break, and I'm bored, so I figured,
"What the hey, I'll give it a read. It's got a catchy title." The article he had posted was entitled My First Blog: The Result of a Closed-Minded 23 Year Old. With nothing more to go on than that, I figured it could be about anything. It's been a few years since I've been 23, but I'm always up for some good reading material. As it turns out, her blog was actually a response to an entirely different blog post entitled 23 Things To Do Instead Of Getting Engaged Before You’re 23. Again, I'm not 23. I remember it being a good time though and I thought "I might not be 23 anymore, but maybe I can still do some of these things before I hit the Big 3-0?" But the article wasn't just a simple list of things to do and places to visit... It was MUCH MORE. This is just a brief post to share some pretty exciting news. I'd write more, but I got to the gym late tonight because I had sit at my apartment and wait for my cable guy to NOT show up, even after the nice lady on the phone promised me I was the next customer. (I'm not gonna name names, but the company rhymes with Domcast. Just saying.) Anyways, that SUPER good news is that the #runstreak is back, baby!
WOOT WOOT! Ok, it's only day two. And I've only done a mile each day, but you know what?!?! It's a friggen start. What is it that famous old dude said? "One small step step for man, one giant leap for runstreakers everywhere." Ok, ok... I may be paraphrasing... A bit. A smidgen. Don't judge me. I'm just so excited! How about y'all?!?! Has Day Two of the New Year been kind? Still hitting those resolutions? 'Cause you know... Everybody's Doing It. #runlove, y'all! P.S. So much thanks to Will Ferrell and those nice folks who wrote Old School, without which the whole "Going streaking" thing would not be so hilarious. Seriously. Big props. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Ok, so on the verge of seeming cliched, I figure the best way to hold myself accountable to my goals for the new year is to broadcast them far and wide for all to read. Then y'all can call me on my B.S. when I fail to uphold my end of the bargain or feel like slackin'. Here's hoping that the collective of the internet can do something positive and keep me on track. :) So here it is; my list of "resolutions" for the new year! |
