No NaNo Novel

I have to admit...I didn't write a novel in November (insert sad-faced emoticon here).  But what I love about NaNoWriMo is that each time I participate I get closer to writing one than I would if I didn't try. In the past I've written in November, then stop, and never look at it again.  This year I read those earlier attempts and was surprised that they weren't as horrible as they felt while I was writing them.  So the deal I've made with myself is that I am going to keep writing on this one until I hit the 50,000 word mark.  Ugh!  Why do I do this to myself!

I kid...I do it because I love having goals.  Some of my goals this year...to run 500 or more miles (just about there, and barring any injury, I should make it), start a blog (done!), read at least 12 books (I'm going to have to squeeze 3 small ones in this month).  I don't really make resolutions, I set these as I go and looking back at this list I see what sorts of things are important to me.  I think I'll carry these forward.  Starting with my annual Resolution Run with my husband at midnight on New Year's.

2012 - Me, Todd, and our favorite running companion Yuri!

What goals, resolutions if you will, are you setting for yourself?
