I resolve to read your blog more often!

As always, well-written and thought-provoking.. and I love the new look (even though I really didn’t mind the old one).

Hey Bonnie I am with you on the running. I’ve been on the treadmill 3–4 times per week. just 20 minutes, but its long enough for me not to quite. I ran my first non stop mile a couple of days ago,and increased the distance this morning. I’ll be running outside in 2010. So if you want a novice partner, holler at me on Facebook, and then we’ll see each other in person. My goal is three 5K races this year.

I have unattainable & reasonable goals for 2010:

* Find a team mate in this world who has my back as I have his/hers
* Write. Write. Write.
* Read. Read. Read.
* Get comfortable with what I have. God knows I won’t be able to declutter any more crap that comes into this house.
* Spend less on entertainment — and by entertainment I mean the bar.

Thanks for the post, I really enjoy reading your blog! It’s always a special treat to see a Bon Mots post in my Google Reader!

Thanks, Lauren. I’m going to sign up for The Running Room to ease myself back into it. And yes, when I do sign up for a race, I will let you know!

I think these are really great achievable goals, Bonnie. I love number 4 and 5 and more importantly i love your reason. Healthy living most of the times means you’ll get to live longer, but enjoying your life now (MEAT!) is also important. I find the easiest way to stick to running is to do something kind of crazy like sign up for a race, so if you want a buddy for that, let me know, I’m game.

Happy New Year to you, Amanda! And Rosaleer (LOL), while your resolutions may be a bit broad, they are great — who wouldn’t want to try new things? The spending less part I, myself, would have a problem with.

Whoops, I spelled my name wrong (I hope that makes you giggle at least). Apparently I have not fully recovered yet … AND it’s 6:23 a.m. — on a Saturday morning — I“m still on coffee.

Bon those are great things to “resolve”! I think I may use some.… cause all I got right now is… a)try new things, b) spend less .… and the last one I’m struggling with and it’s only day two.

God, I love Smarch.

Nice list, Bonnie! I think I need to take up #7 as well.

Happy New Year!
