Where did January go?\u00a0 31 days into 2010 and it is just starting to feel normal to write 2010.<\/p>\n

It was great that I was finally able to start running again.\u00a0 I ran for a total of 17.8 miles this past month, a far cry from previous year’s (86 in 2009), but much better than all of the 0’s from previous months!\u00a0 I still have plantar fasciitis and will soon be celebrating the one-year anniversary of its onset (2\/24).\u00a0 I’m confident in the weeks ahead that it will disappear!<\/p>\n

I’ve set a few random goals for the year<\/p>\n

Run Around All Named Bodies of Water in Minneapolis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check off Lake Calhoun<\/a>.\u00a0 I didn’t have a camera and I’ll be running there more this year so stay tuned for more information about it.<\/p>\n

Read the Entire Bible in a Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m following a plan that only makes you read 25 days out of the month, which is pretty nice and I succeeded in accomplishing that this month.\u00a0 This includes the entire Book of\u00a0 Genesis.<\/p>\n

Read a Book a Month<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m cutting it close, but will finish Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods<\/a><\/em>, which I got as a Christmas present.<\/p>\n

Blog Regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn’t make this goal.\u00a0 I skipped at least one post here and haven’t been consistent on my personal blog.\u00a0 Though I am succeeding on my Project 365<\/a> (taking and posting 1 picture a day).<\/p>\n

Other things of note…<\/strong> I’ll start co-teaching a leadership class for 6th graders today!! It should be fun and we are using a curriculum developed by the school district called Peace Lead.\u00a0 It should be a great experience.<\/p>\n

We continue to piddle around our house and get lots of little things done.\u00a0 I finished painting the bathrooms over Christmas break and we got some new couches this month which had some extra comfort to the living room!<\/p>\n

One Post<\/strong> this week has to be the Week of Garmin<\/a> series from 2008 after I got my Garmin Forerunner 205<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The most popular post<\/strong> in January was Treatments of Plantar Fasciitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
