As I sit here today thinking about 2014 and dreaming about 2015, I started to get frustrated. I realized I have not accomplished my 2013 nor my 2014 Cool Impossibles. At first I let negativity take over. I could choose to see myself as a loser, a pathetic excuse of a runner who's too weak to accomplish her goals. But then I flipped my thinking around. Sure, its still a bummer that I didn't achieve my CI's, but in the last 2 years, with the help of Eric's book and this wonderful community, I would consider myself vastly smarter, more patient, and more aware of my body. I'm amazed at some of the things I thought my 38-yr-old body wouldn't/couldn't do. I also like to think that I helped my dad begin to challenge himself.
I continue to remain excited about my CI. I know I will do it . All the struggles I've been through will make the accomplishment so much sweeter.
Happy New Year everyone!! Make it a great 2015!!

Thanks everyone! I celebrated my 23rd anniversary with running yesterday. It's a little sad that I'm only just now learning to enjoy the journey, but I'm glad I'm getting there none-the-less.
Aim for the stars and if you don't make it, at least you got to the moon. B-)
