Whew! After doing a major blog update on December 30th to catch up on the second half of 2016, I am ready to reflect on what I thought I had in store from 2016, and look ahead to what I want to see in 2017!
You can read my first post of 2016 here
It's funny how when you're busy making plans... life happens. 2016 had lots of surprises and adventures in it! After reading my blog posted not knowing what the future had in store (and now knowing what actually happened) it is fun to see the difference.
Update on the resolutions made for 2016
1. Health - I can definitely say that I embraced Orange Theory Fitness and am faster and stronger than I was in 2015. If I can keep it going with the OTF classes, and fix my issues in the kitchen, it would be a very successful 2017. Always have to start the year off with Health!
2. Principal's Certification - CHECK. I did my 160+ hours of internship under my principal, and took/passed the Principal's Certification test. I just need to put it on my certification! As far as other goals based on my career, I just want to continue to grow with Reading/Writing curriculum/best current practices. No new moves in my career are planned for 2017.
3. Continue with Fun/Travels - Of course I did! I have a lot of places on my radar for 2017, but I would really like to go to a state(s) I haven't been to. A lot of the places on my radar are repeats, which are still fun, or they are in Texas. I want to branch out somewhere I haven't been to add to my 50 States traveled journal.

As far as Running events are concerned, right now I am only signed up for a 15K in February. I'm okay with that, as I really do want to focus on keeping up with OTF, and eating. If I can focus on that, I will be okay without new medals.
*3/1 - I apparently never published this blog! Whoops!
