June is over. In fact, we’re two days into July (Happy birthday Dad!), and I feel like the year has flown by. Seriously.
What’s happened this year?

*Started freelancing.
*Celebrated birthday #26 with fabulous friends
*Read a lot.
*Ran a 10 miler
*Ran a 10k
*Ran (and PRed!) Marathon #3
*Kept planning my wedding that is now in 2 months and 10 days!!! (aka 72 days!)
*Bought plane tickets for Chicago for BlogHer
*Started writing for Gals Guide and the Examiner
*Gave up Pup #2
What’s in store for the rest of the year?
*Bridal Shower in CT
*BlogHer
*Bachelorette in Boston
*More wedding planning madness
*The wedding! The honeymoon in Puerto Rico!
*Finding more work
*Continuing to redo our apartment
*My brother’s impending deployment to Afghanistan resulting in one, possibly two trips to Vermont before the end of the year
*The First PINK!Jams event in DC in November – which is going to be a blast and that I am so thrilled to be a part of!
How does this all pan with my new years resolutions? Let’s check it out….
1. Run 2 marathons Am only running one – ran it. PR’ed. Just…don’t want to deal with training and wedding.
2. Lose 20 lbs – have lost about 5 lbs since the beginning of the year
3. Find a career I love… I fully consider myself a writer!
4. Read 52 books am finishing up book #22. So i’m a little behind but not too badly.
5. Pay down half of my credit cards (at least!) not so much. Haven’t added (much) but we are refinancing it so it won’t be high interest debt. Which certainly won’t hurt matters
6. Complete NaNoWriMo
7. Attend BlogHer in Chicago going! Got my plane tickets and my roomies!
8. Do a Detox at least once every other month I’ve done 1. A half assed one at that.
9. See family more than 3 times/year… I’ve seen them twice, my mom and sister i’ve seen 3 times and will see next weekend. The wedding, December…this is attainable.
10. Run a half marathon/10 mile/5k/10k (in addition to 2 marathons) (GW Parkway 10 miler: 4/26/09 1:58:30; Capitol Hill Classic 10k 5/17/09; Susan G Komen for the Cure 5k 6/6/09) Still want to find a 5k because i didn’t run the Komen 5k. My knee was still really bothering me and so I passed. But I will run a half and a 5k before the end of the year.
All in all, pretty happy with this year. Sans the whole losing my job crap. That sucked. A lot.
How’s your 2009 been treating you now that we’re past the half way point??
