Idk but I'm starting the year feeling all behind. I think I set my GR goal at 120, same as last year, and then I was able to surpass that.

Otherwise I feel like I don't try to get things done at all.<br />A 5 mile walk is a pretty long walk! Just trying to run/walk 3.1 miles takes forever. At least with me. <br />You reminded me I need to take my bike out for a spin more often.

It's not big enough now for him and the girls, so it's been neglected. I miss our adventures on it, and I hope that we'll be able to start again soon. The girls still aren't quite old enough to ride in it anyways, but maybe W and I can start making new trips. I'll have to build my endurance back up.<br /><br />I have an issue with impulse buying and requesting. Then I feel obligated to read those books even if I'm not in the mood for them. I'm also trying to build my NetGalley back up since I took off all those years. It's a process!
