goals

1.  run.  
last time i was in madison it was during the iron man competition in september.  i decided then that i wanted to run a 5k in the spring/summer.  i was doing well, running a few times a week and then it got cold and motivation left.  since it is officially spring i decided to start running again.  three times this week already.  i'm at 10 min. miles, my goal is 8min miles.

2. hang out.
i havent been social in months.  too many months.  i used to spend every free moment with someone else doing something or doing nothing, didn't matter as long as i wasn't alone.  then last summer started and i had zero time.  between school full time and work full time, i had no social life.  it just continued into fall and then again it got cold and motivation left.  but even with warmer temps, i still have no desire to hang out.  it is weird, i don't feel like myself.  but i want to hang out, i have awesome amazing friends and i would honestly rather spend time with them than sit at home alone watching movies.

3. eat more responsibly.
being vegan forces me to read the labels of everything.  i've started to realize how most of the ingredients i can't pronounce.  if i can't pronounce it (or at least know what it is) then i don't want to eat it.  and what the fuck is up with high fructose corn syrup? why is it in bread? why is it in everything? i don't want to eat that either. of course ill have exceptions (i.e. most candy and corn nuts) but i'll make an honest attempt.

i'll update on my progress in achieving my goals.  wish me luck.
