athlete's plate: saving the best for last
jason of life of an aspiring athlete fame has a fun and yummy weekly installment of athlete-worthy meals. he chose to create his last menu of 2010 around me because he knew he had to go out with a bang.
go check out my menu here! don't worry, only one recipe contains m&m's. this stuff is actually healthy and realistic.
(for more entertainment, check out the marlene edition and the potty-centric suar menu)
i have to nominate next week's featured blogger -- so leave a comment and i just might pick you. first athlete's plate of 2011, those are bragging rights! bribes are certainly accepted. (hey, it worked for me; thanks for the nomination marlene!)

2010 report card
allow me to fill your google readers with more posts about 2010 report cards and reflections. i'm sure we haven't quite seen enough of them yet. eventually i'll figure out my 2011 goals too, but i'm never on time with those.
first up - the goals of 2010. i feel a bit like i am tossing my dirty laundry into the washing machine and ridding myself of my not-quite-met 10 goals of 2010. i'm looking forward to a "clean slate" in a couple of days.
running/fitness goals B+
non-running goals A-
like the rest of society does with kids these days, i graded myself leniently. i did use red ink though, gasp! i can just feel my self-esteem decreasing!

running/fitness goals B+
- run 3 marathons, for real this time. B-. again i only ran two (boston and kentucky) in the same week at that. i really had no excuse for not fitting a 3rd one in, other than the fact i was nauseous all year 'til september.
- pr in at least 3 distances. A+. granted, they were all automatic pr's in distances i had never raced before.
- do
5,00012,000 abs and120150 minutes of planks. A++! setting a concrete goal really helped and i even had to up the anty halfway through the year. i exceeded on both counts (13,500 and 171). - lose 15 pounds. trust me, i need to. whale fail. blub blub blub.
- beat my '09 miles (2025.10). B-. i failed, but at least i never got upset about it in july when i realized i would fall short. i'll end 2010 with 1500+ miles.
non-running goals A-
- get some stamps in my passport. A+. hello french poly. still working on convincing josh to move there.
- figure out how to plan my wedding and be a good maid-of-honor for my best friend's wedding. A+, if i do say so myself.
- pay off a solid chunk of the mortgage. A+. well i only did this for half the year, but i still paid off 10.52% in those 6 months.
- continue to spend quality time with friends/family. A? i guess. still suck at picking up the phone and talking, but i'm a good texter.
- renovate the master bathroom. another whale fail. did not even begin to attempt.
like the rest of society does with kids these days, i graded myself leniently. i did use red ink though, gasp! i can just feel my self-esteem decreasing!
