“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
– Walt Disney
I’ll be turning 30 in 1 month and I figure it’s about time to do some of the things I’ve been talking about for ages! Since I’ve decided to start actually pursuing some of my goals I figure I should write them down. I’ve chosen two to focus on this year:
1) To train for and run the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon
2) To learn Italian for a trip to Italy next summer
I’ve downloaded an app which helps non-runners train for a 5K (not quite a 1/2 marathon, but it’s a start). My plan is to follow the training program and on the off days from running I’ll either do yoga or the elliptical. My goal to start is to work out an average of half an hour each day. So far I’m not doing too bad!
For my 2nd goal I’m going to start learning Italian. Most of my relatives speak it and I’ve always wanted to learn, but years of struggling through elementary and high school French classes turned me off from ever trying to learn another foreign language. I’ve gotten the Italian Rosetta Stone and I’m going to give it my best shot! I’m going to start tonight so we’ll see how that goes!
