I never make New Year Resolutions. And I know this is crazy. Blame The Running Green Girl. She influenced me to do this. Green Girl is very inspirational. Here is my 100 Things in 2014 list. It's not a resolution list. It is more like a wish list, things I hope to do/accomplish for 2014.

ReplyDeleteThanks Johann. The best to you as well!
DeleteThis is an awesome list! I may have to "borrow" this idea from you and Mary....
ReplyDeleteThanks Crazy Penguin!
DeleteI love this list. I didn't make resolutions this year (except to start running again).. I made similar, mini goals.. things that are much more likely to be accomplished than some far fetched resolutions :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been big on resolutions either. I prefer goals and wish lists. :) Happy new year!
DeleteI'm in to do Baldy and Tide to Towers with you. If and when we get some serious rain, come and run/hike Fish Canyon Fall with me.
ReplyDeleteYou are on Hank. Fish Canyon for sure. And I will let you know when I am ready for Baldy and Tide to Towers. Happy new year!
DeleteAn ambitious list! I love the idea though. Best of luck crossing things off!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindsay!
