It is the last day of 2013...Wow that went fast! I am a sucker for reflecting back on periods of time and trying to determine if I accomplished my goals. Do you guys do this too? This year was tricky because I definitely set goals (run 13 races in 2013), but I wasn't specific what I wanted from those goals (i.e. what I really wanted was a faster running time, not to just complete the races). So I am not quite sure how I did?
My biggest accomplishment was becoming an intentional athlete. I have secretly always wanted to be "sporty spice," but never thought of myself as athletic. It wasn't until others referred to me as an athlete, that I started to believe. I used to think that being an athletic meant being the best and/or winning. I have come to understand it means being YOUR best and not quitting. I am not the best at running or CrossFit or yoga, but damn it I am an athlete! And when I saw our new CrossFit hoodies said ATHLETE on the front, I knew the universe agreed with me:
Whether or not 2013 was a complete success, I gave my best effort and made progress. I want to thank all you who have shared in my adventures and misadventures this year via Rice Kracker Girl. Did you have a good 2013? What were some of your year's highlights?
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Years!!
