The overachiever in me has decided to end the year with a few resolutions rather than beginning the year. Last year I resolved that I was a) going to get in shape -- check, b) start reading more for fun -- check, and c) get my house better organized -- half check (I kind of do this and I hired a house keeper to keep me on track).
So what to do this year? I have decided to be more specific and I am getting started now.
Here's the list. If you have any suggestions for me and ways to keep me motivated let me know.
1. Train for a half marathon and I am going to start running and doing cardio in the mornings. I actually got up at 4:45 a.m. and started this morning. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be either. **If someone has a good training program, would you mind sharing?
2. This year, I will join a book club to help encourage me to read more for fun and no more baby reading. I seemed to get sucked into every childcare book out there. It's time for a little fiction.
3. To get better organized, I am going to attempt to use less stuff. This goal will prove to be the hardest for me because I love shopping and I am a total kid when it comes to new gadgets. I think that I am simply going to adopt a new rule at home, which is: If you buy something new, it has to replace something old and then I will have to give away or throw out that something old.
Check back with me in a few months and hopefully I will be able to report positively on my progress.

If you don't subscribe to Runner's World, you should. Frequently training plans in there. (And I may have some old issues around here. If I can find them and they've got half plans, I'll let you know).
But generally, whatever the distance, plans boil down like this: Do a few runs of either hills or tempo or speed during the week, do a long run during the weekend, rest one day a week and crosstrain one day a week.
