I just read the comment by Russ that said his #1 goal for this year is to run another marathon. I too would like to run another marathon this year AND I would like to train for it as well.
This month (well, and future months too) I am focusing on losing weight rather than just running. I have been counting calories and going to aerobics (MWF) and running on the other days. I have lost 2 lbs. so far, but I need to lose about 20.
But here's the real question: Which marathon are you wanting to run this year Russ (and anyone else who is reading this and running one)? I know that B&R signed up for the runner's series for SGM, but I didn't. So are you going to do the lottery for St. George or try something different?
I would like to do Top of Utah again. Anyone interested?

What are your goals for 2009?
OK, today of all days seems like a good time to get this blog up and going again. What does everyone think? Should we try this again or are we all too busy?
Have you set New Years Resolutions? And if so, does one of those resolutions having anything to do with eating better, working out more, and losing weight?
I'll be honest, I haven't made resolutions this year, but losing weight is always something I want to do--whether I'm successful or not, that's another story. But now that my ankle is starting to feel better, I'm making an effort to work out. I've jogged three days this week (including today) and it's been nice to get moving again--even if I'm moving slowly.
Eating right? That's another story. With the holidays I've had more candy, more ice cream, more pizza. But I could do worse. I know in years past Eric and I loaded up on junk food and spent Christmas day and the week leading up to New Years doing nothing but eating. (One year we had nuts, cookies, chocolate, hot chocolate, candy--you name it--in our stockings. We ate and ate and ate...)
I've decided my goal isn't going to be a certain weight or percent of weight loss, but rather a goal to work out a minimum of 3 days a week--for a minimum of 30 minutes.
