#60inSixty

So today I have something exciting to share with you guys!

It all started last week when Darci posted this on Instagram..

It took me approximately 15 seconds to decide to add my email to the list.

At the beginning of June I mentioned that I want to run a 5k. I really do and I want it bad. While we were on vacation I ran a few times and since we've gotten back, I haven't gotten out of that routine.

What? You say you haven't seen me tweet it, instagram it, or blog about it? Well that's because I haven't. I really trying and really working on doing things for myself. It's a bit of a personal journey I'm on right now. I needed to know if I could keep myself motivated on my own, this is not a new concept for me.

However, I need a mini-challenge. Working towards running a 5k is great. It's a challenge I want and one I'm working towards. But, uh.. that could be a long way off. Or maybe not, I don't really know. I do know that having another challenge to work on while I'm working on the big challenge could never be a bad thing.

So insert #60inSixty.

Basically the goal is to run, walk, or jog 60 miles in 60 days. July 5th-September 2nd.

Darci is keeping track of all of the participants progress by using Instagram. We will be posting pictures of whatever we use to keep track of our miles and using the hashtag #60inSixty.

If you want to join the challenge, email Darci at darcispear@yahoo.com!

I highly encourage anyone and everyone to join the challenge! I think it's going to be really fun and definitely something for me to work towards! And it won't hurt to build a community of people working towards the same thing as you!

July Goals!

Let's cut right to the chase.. I'm not posting a weekend recap today. My weekend ended with a bunch of knots in my stomach (and a ridiculously clean apartment. you could eat off of the bottom of my shower. i clean when i'm stressed or angry/upset.) and I don't really ever want to re-live that, so moving right along..

It's July 1st. SURPRISE! July is probably one of my favorite months, ever. So you'll have to excuse the ridiculous, overly happy ramblings this month. I'll be floating on Cloud 9.

I guess we better recap my June Goals real quick..

• Enjoy my vacation. Done.
• Have a yard sale. Rescheduled for July.
• Continue applying for jobs. Done. Shoot me now.
• Read FIVE books. So not even close to being done. I had the best of intentions though!
• Pay for someone else's dinner. #payitforward. DONE!!
• Paint gallery wall frames. Not done.
• Install a new shower head. Also not done.
• Complete 2 more things on my apartment to-do list. Not done.
• Do something spontaneous. Done.
• Start my 5k training. Done!

Final Tally: 5/10 .. Yikes. *hangs head in shame*

Moving right along.. JULY GOALS! Here's hoping I actually get shit crap stuff things done this month!

• Have a yard sale.
• Read THREE books. (hopefully more attainable than the 5 I tried to read last month)
• Job Search until I find one. Rawr.
• #payitforward
• Paint gallary wall frames.
• Install a new shower head.
• Hang something on my bedroom walls.
• Do something spontaneous.
• Continue 5k training.
• Celebrate my sister's birthday and attempt to surprise her.
• Do a Pinterest project.
• Cook THREE new recipes.
• Limit fast food to ONCE a week for the whole month!

I guess that's kind of a boring list. Whatever. I have decided that #payitforward and "do something spontaneous" will be on my goal lists every single month. If I want to better someone else, I should start by bettering myself. *insert MJ's Man in the Mirror*

Also, being spontaneous is a lot of fun and I'm always glad I did it.

So, anyone else making a July Goal List? Share with me!
