So, did this month FLY by for anyone else?
I feel like we just did NYE and got the new year rolling, hello 2010! But, no, we are already starting month 3 - we had our quarterly review last week- wth!
We are shamrockin' all over Lubbock/south plains/west Texas/ and the panhandle. I hope no matter where you are living you buy a Shamrock for MDA if you see one for sale! *you can go to any Valero across the US and they will be selling them March 2nd- April 5th!

Devotion
Jon reminded me today about two people that show more devotion and love in what they do that I can imagine. Team Hoyt. http://www.values.com/billboards/16-Devotion
What an amazing relationship between father and son. There are videos all over the internet/youtube if you search them, they are amazing. What an inspiration their motto is "Yes we can!" Dick Hoyt said in an interview it just proves that if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. (paraphrased)
Really puts things into perspective for me.

Every had a GREAT day
Yesterday was a great day at work! Now, let me explain, there were jailbirds to be called, lots and lots of them. So, the normal great day was a bit different~ Friday's are super busy at our office. As opposed to every hectic day we have. *sarcasm*
It was a daunting task to get started and took ALL day long, but I was doing it and laughing with them, truly enjoying my calls. Then I had a call, not with a JB, and the day was shot. It was just the worst feeling when I got off the call, and that makes me so mad and sad. It shouldn't be that way. I can't explain what happened during this 30 minute call but I was just so distressed about what went down. It plain sucked! A situation where everyone on the call is belittled and talked down too. I don't feel like anyone should be talked downto, atleast not if people expect great results.
Anyways, I am so disappointed that a great day was all to the birds!

Resolutions
So, I just read a blog that had the best point about new year's resolutions. The idea that a year long or life long resolution is so tough to keep up with; why not track progress one month at a time?! PERFECT!
I am going to track it right here! Instead of boring you with all of my resolutions I am going to write about what I accomplished.
January:
*Sticking to the 1/2 marathon training schedule! I messed up one week of it, but simply backtracked and did that week. I am already seeing improvement in my endurance and my speed!!
*Jon and I are sticking to a 'clean house' plan~ we figure a little each week keeps us clean and we deep clean once a month. We're actually doing it-WOO!
*Doing the 30 Day Shred- I am not doing it 30 straight, because the 1/2 marathon training schedule has cross training days. So- I use 30DS for my X training
*Keeping the car clean~ not doing excellent with all the snow, but the inside is looking great!
*Laundry- how is it so tough to keep up with laundry? I don't know why, but we are finally on the upside of laundry
*Being better at staying in touch. I am really trying not to let my job, my running, my house, my everything get in the way of staying in touch with the fabulous people in my life. :)
*Going to bed at a decent hour --- well, I'm good at getting in bed at a decent hour, but a few nights I'm laying there wide awake.... oh well, work in progress!
Anyways, I think these 'resolutions' are so much easier to keep when I track how long I have made it- 1 month! WOO!!
