For the first time since I started this resolution, I failed on my book per month. I am still reading Anna Karenina and it is proving to be quite the task. I began it in August and I am currently 56% of the way through. So I'm going to say that even though I didn't finish  a book in September, I have read quite enough to safely say that my resolution isn't broken. When I'm finally finished with Anna, I plan to read a mindless, quick, best-seller to cleanse my brain!

I also started reading Dewey: The Small Town Library Cat Who Touched the World. I love cats and I love libraries, so this seemed like a slam dunk. It turns out that a 300 page book about a cat who lives in a library is too much for me... so I quit half way through.

And I started Bring Up the Bodies, the sequel to Wolf Hall, but had to return it to the library before I finished because it was not renewable.

July was a sad, low mileage month. This is because I decided to pretty much take a week off before officially beginning my marathon training plan. If only I hadn't been so lazy, I might have surpassed my resolution goal of 500 miles this month!

Resolution Check In

Last night after I wrote my yoga post, I was laying in bed reading when for some reason it dawned on me that I never formally stated my New Year's resolutions for 2012 and here it is February 1st. There were a few that I was considering but I never decided which I'd try to stick to.

I suppose I'd best decide and stop procrastinating! So, for the record, my 2012 resolutions are:

1. Run at least 500 miles over the course of the year.
2. Complete a half marathon (or two).
3. Read at least 1 book per month.

These are kind of lazy because they are basically the same as last year... with a bump up in the mileage and this year I really will run a half marathon. Anyhow, so now that the resolutions are out there, January is over so I'd better do a check in!
