I realized around the end of December/beginning of January that I had completely, yet unintentionally, abandoned my blog. I spent the first few weeks of January deciding when to start again. I didn't want to start too soon and look like a bandwagon resolution person, but I didn't want to wait that long since it had been more than 2 months since my last post.
This lead to me thinking a lot about the idea of a New Years Resolution and wondering why I was so against them. What it boiled down to was the notion that many, many resolutions fail. Many goals fail as well, but it seemed worse to be tied to a "resolution". To be clear, I am not anti-resolution, I just didn't feel like it was right for me.
My goals haven't changed since before the new year. I still want to complete a triathlon this summer. Along with that comes the goals of running a 5k again, becoming a better swimmer and getting faster on my bike. But to come out the first week of January and re-proclaim all of those things made me feel like I was cheapening what I had already set out to do.
What I have found is simply that the new year has given me a reinvigorated passion for my goals. While I still feel nervous about completing a triathlon, I am more excited than scared. I don't need a resolution to help me complete a goal, I just need the desire. I got this.
