If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’m a big fan of a new year.
When it comes to setting goals for the new year? The bigger the better.
One reason that I think many big goals, or resolutions, fail is that we don’t spend enough time thinking about next year’s goals before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve.
Point blank, the time to start thinking about your 2023 running goals is now. Read more
As you may have heard me talk about once or twice, I’m a big fan of setting big goals for myself.
And there is no better time for big goals, as far as I’m concerned, than the start of a new year.
However, as we all know, many goals that get set on New Year’s Day don’t exactly come to fruition 365 days later.
Shoot, a lot of goals don’t even survive the month of January.
So before we get too crazy with declaring goals our goals for 2021, we would be wise to do a bit of groundwork first to give us our best chances for success in 2021. Read more

Words to live by, to be true.
In the past few days, I’ve come across several conversations related to patience and delayed gratification.
And as runners, we tend to suck in this area.

At the beginning of the year, I set a goal/New Year’s Resolution of posting new content on the site every day in 2015.
I knew at the time that perfection would be difficult, but I figured I’d do my best and hopefully only miss a handful of days.
So far in 2015, I believe I’ve only missed 5 days of posting. And if I’m honest, I’d have to say that I’m pretty happy with my consistency and I feel like I’m on the toward making this particular resolution a success.
Except for the fact that I’m purposefully breaking the resolution and letting go my goal.
Why I’m Waving the White Flag
If you were following me or the blog at the beginning of the year, you know how much of a fan I am of New Year’s Resolutions.
Don’t Look Now, But It’s Already the Halfway Point of 2015!
Making resolutions/goals in the first week of January is one thing, but looking back on them multiple times throughout the year, gauging progress, and adjusting as necessary is extremely important.
At least if you want to stay on track, meet your goals, and not keep making the same resolutions year after year.
So how am I doing on my goals for 2015? Let’s take a look at where I stand at the halfway point of 2015.
