It has been months since I posted on this blog, and no one missed it (not even me)!  I've set some new goals for 2014 though, and I think that using this blog will be a great way to keep track of everything for myself.  And if someone else finds it interesting along the way, great!

Here are a few of the things coming up in 2014...

1.  Voyage to Venus!  My kids and I have both pledged miles for the Voyage to Venus.  The kids each plan to run 100 miles during 2014, and I've signed up for 1,000 miles.  Looking forward to getting started on that...time to plan for that average of 84 miles per month (20 per week).

2.  14 in 14.  I managed 13 races in 2013, now it is time to run 14 races in 2014.  I'll stick with a mix of 5ks, 10ks, and half marathons.

3.  Starting out 2014 with a 21 day detox led by my running coach from 2013, Laura Peifer.  This will be the first time I try something like this, starting January 4th.  Hoping it helps with my goal of losing 25 pounds in the next year.

4.  My son Gabe wants to run his first 10k in 2014, and my daughter Maggie wants to run something longer than a 5k.  They are both planning to use the Kalamazoo Area Runners Club Championship Series to work towards their overall running goals for the year.

So, that's where I'm at and where I want to go!
