New Year's goals

These goals are similar to last year's. I will have to keep listing them until I actually complete them.

1. Lose weight - Over the past year, I have pretty much maintained my weight. I've weighed a couple of pounds more or less throughout the year. My weight now is just a few pounds over what I started at in January 2012. I hope I will be able to lose weight and keep it off in the new year.

2. Continue running - I love running and I hope to keeping doing it for as long as I can. I won't set a mileage goal again this year. Sometimes things come up and I won't be able to keep my mileage high. Over the past year my treadmill broke and that forced me to run elsewhere, I took time off after both of my 50 mile races and work or life needed my attention. I hope 2013 is another great year of running.

3. Read about art - I was an art major in college. To graduate I had to take many classes of art history. I loved learning about artists and their works of art. A couple of times a year, my husband and I visit the Toledo Museum of Art. The last few visits have just been for special exhibitions. It would be nice to walk through the museum and identify works of art. What period is it from or what style it is.

4. Shoot more photos for myself - This item is on my list every year. It will continue to be on it until I do it. This year I did pretty well. I took photos on our trips to North Carolina, Mackinac Island and New Jersey. I also photographed cemeteries, graffiti and horse shows. It was an improvement from 2011 to 2012. I just need to do it more.
