This new year, I set some goals.
Time to slow down. Enjoy life a little bit more.
Along with that, I set an intention to live more joyfully.
I figured that declaring it would make it happen. But it seems that life has different ideas.
Already.
It's only the beginning of the year, but I'd like a do-over.
Is there a reset button? Can we do this thing again? Because things haven't started off so well.

Maybe it's me. Maybe my expectations were too high? I was so pumped about the way I ended last year. I hit that final mileage goal. I crushed all my other goals, save that BQ.
Sweet.
Feeling so positive, I was ready to tackle 2016 with arms wide open. Ready to restart, resume, and renew my training. I've got a marathon to train for.
I pulled out the mantras:
Good vibes only.
Don't stop believin'.
I can and I will.
I got this.
Instead, I wake up in a pool of sweat. Hot flashes, anyone?
Instead, I can not get my youngest out of bed for school.
Instead, it is school physical season v2.0.
Instead, an injury has sidelined me.
Instead of the cute ankle boots I ordered, I received a pair of size 11 Vans.
If I could rewind the last couple of days, I would.
Reset my expectations.
And renew my goals.
Reset my intention.
Let's do it. Here I go again:
I will welcome each day as a clean slate.
I will start each day with the intention of joy.
I will accept the things I cannot change.
I will be thankful for the little things that make me smile.
I will not take personally the people who treat me badly.
I will take charge of my happiness.
I will be positive.
I will run.
Good vibes only.
Don't stop believin'.
I can and I will.
I got this.
Just breathe.
Find joy in the journey.
How has your year started off? Are you tackling those goals?
