2010 - The Year of Many Firsts

2010 - The Year of Many Firsts

The 2010 Bling

I started to reflect back on 2010 and did not realize just how much I have accomplished this year. Like I stated in my first ever post, I miss having goals.  Ever since I finished college, achieved senior status in my career and met a wonderful family there has not been many goals in my life.  It was a void I was missing.  My goals this year were to run a 13.1 and to do a triathlon.  Needless to say I shattered those goals and more.  I surprised myself when I started thinking about this post.  Below is a list of my firsts.

1. First year to run a 15K and I completed 2 races
2. First year to run do a half marathon. I completed 9 races and became a Half Fanatic
3. First year to do a non-recreational swim.  Before this I just swam to stay afloat.
4. First open water swim (which I did at Lucky's Lake). I have completed 38 laps since May
5. First year to do a triathlon and I completed 1 Sprint, 2 Intermediate and 2 Olympic races
6. First year to place in my triathlon division
7. First year to start road cycling and I completed a 40 mile race, 67 mile race and The Horrible Hundred Century (Florida's hardest century)
8. First year to sign up up for a Half Ironman and now I am signed up for two in 2011
9. Lost 20 lbs in two months. I'm now 183 lbs.
10. I am in the best shape of my life and love racing and going to the gym.
11. Baked over 160 dozen cookies in February to send to the troops serving oversees (Rochelle's Boots on the Ground) (Note: if you are interested in helping out this February please let me know)
12. Found hobbies we enjoy doing as a family

What goals did you accomplish this year?  What are your goals for next year?
