Ran my first half marathon in January at Disney World.
Volunteered at the Disney Princess Half Marathon.
Was an assistant coach for Girls on the Run.
Volunteered at the Chicago Marathon.
Met some local bloggers.
Ran my first 15K and ran with my mom for the first time.
Had an active holiday with my family.
Over the year I have also become a faster runner and joined in some group runs with Fleet Feet, even becoming a member of their FF Cheer team. I completed seven races this year and set new personal records at a 5K, 10K, and half marathon. I even found a job that I enjoy and have also met some great people here in Chicago.

How was 2011 for you? Do you have any goals or resolutions for the new year? Any advice on what should be my first marathon?

- Move to a better apartment that is closer to the city.
- Get my own domain name.
- To continue my healthy lifestyle. I am going to figure out and reach my happy, healthy weight this year. I am so close to being there!
- Keep learning.
So here's to the start of a wonderful new year!!
