New year new me?

Why does every magazine I see tells me that with the new year I must reinvent myself. I like the old 2010 me. I agree that I need a few tweaks and adjustments here and there but, I'm turning 49 in a few weeks, so who wouldn't. Since this is my first post of 2011, I'll share my goals for this year. I don't do resolutions they usually don't last and call for trips to the gym where you have to interact with machines that look more like they should be put in Guantanamo than where they are.

Goal number one : Be a better Mom to my youngest son (he's autistic and I sometimes find myself drifting away when he tries to put together the words that form a sentence)
Goal number two : cross train at least 3 times a week.
Goal number two : stick to my marathon training plan.
Goal number three : run faster longer.
Goal number four : Stick with the first three goals for the whole year.

My training was going well until today where I saw in my training log that I had a 60 minute run to do and when I stepped outside, it was freezing!!! I hit the gym to save myself on the treadmill but didn't last more than 40 minutes... I was bored out of my mind!!! I'll try again tomorrow, or maybe not, since I want to get my long run in on Saturday. I'll see. Maybe I should get a coach?
