January 1, 2015.
Welcome to a new year at the Urban Dr. Mom. I stopped making new year resolutions a long time ago. I learned that I am unlikely to really change who I am or what I like to do so making a pledge to myself to try to stop doing something seemed silly.
Instead I set goals. I set my sights on something and go for it, I don’t try to take something else away. This year I am going to be stronger, faster, more fit. I am going to run 21.1 km. I am going to spend as much time with my friends as I can. I am going to be more patience with my children. I am going to be me. I am going to be free.
It’s going to be an amazing year.
I started it off with a 5 km run. It wasn’t a “resolution run“. It was just a run. My body needed to go. I listen to my body. There are days when I just don’t want to run and there are days when I can’t stop thinking about a run so I go out and do one. Today was one of those days. Despite the mild hangover and the sore throat and the bitter cold wind, I suited up and did what had to be done.
Faster.
Higher.
Stronger.
Look out!

Hooray! I made a goal to run a half marathon too! We’re awesome!
Ha! That’s great!!! I’m just going to tey to gradually increase my distance over the next year and I am hoping I can get to the half distance. We shall see.
Me too, Dr. Mom, me too…. Agree with it all…. Except not to half marathon distance this year, yet…..
Yes, well I’m beginning to wonder if that half marathon distance might be too lofty a goal. Maybe I should set my sights on 15 km …. we shall see!
