Fit By 30

I'm turning 30 this year, which is weird. I feel like, at 30, you're supposed to solidly reside in Adult Land, and I feel like a part-time resident at best. Like, I'm the child who lives somewhere else and occasionally comes to visit her parents and friends in Adult Land. In preparation for this birthday, I'm trying to get several things in line.

1. My house-keeping skills. It's no great secret that I am wont to let the dishes stay in the sink too long or to let the laundry pile up or to let my desk and entry table get cluttered. But that stops now. I don't expect this to fix itself instantaneously because Rome wasn't built in a day, but so far, I'm off to a pretty good start.

2. My career. This is a tough one. Just stay tuned.

3. My health. I have never, ever truly been in good shape, but that changes this year. I've kicked things off well in the month of January. I'm down 10 pounds (probably mostly the dreaded Holiday Bloat, but it's gone nonetheless), and I'm almost done with my latest run training undertaking, which means I'll be running 10K in just a couple of weeks. I have a lot more work to do, but the progress I've made thus far is very encouraging. I am under no illusions that I will do this well every month, but I came out of the gate with a bang, so hopefully I can keep some momentum.
