2014 Review. 2015 Plans.

January 3, 2015 by Jenna

2015 Plans! Ok. Now that I’ve finished binge watching Downton Abbey I can start thinking more about 2015. But before moving forward, I wanted to quickly look back at 2014:

  • Became a NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES), and Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) in February
  • Went on the 5th annual Jen-Nat trip to Buenos Aires and Mendoza, Argentina in March
  • Started working at Custom Fitness as a backup Personal Trainer in April
  • Began as a running tour guide for City Running Tours in April
  • STARTED THIS BLOG (!!!!) in April
  • Hung out in Boston for a few days, celebrated my birthday, and watched the Boston Marathon in April
  • Transferred into a new role at General Mills in June
  • Travelled to Costa Rica in August
  • Took over as Minneapolis Manager for City Running Tours in September
  • Spent the weekend in Denver in October
  • Ran the Philadelphia Marathon (my 3rd) in November

In between all of those bullets were a lot of brunches with my girlfriends, baked goods, runs, good and bad first dates, not many second dates, relaxing weekends at the Jabin, beers, vegetables, quality time with the family, tears, laughs, etc.

To me 2014 was a regular year. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it wasn’t significant in any way either. However, after doing this little exercise of writing out major accomplishments and reflecting on some of the memories the year does seem like it was quite full. Yes, there were some dark spots, but most of the memories I’m taking away are quite wonderful.

Let’s face it, 2015 will be better.

Why? Becauseeeeeeeeeeeeee. It just will be. Trust me.

So, now. My 2015 New Year’s Resolutions. Intentions. Goals. Plans. Whatever you would like to call them:

2015 Plans! I should probably add things like “scrub my floors weekly” and “get my oil changed on time”, but I’m not. Those things can fall under “get shit done.” Also, those things aren’t fun.

On New Year’s Eve my girlfriends and I dubbed this year as 2-0-1-5, the year we’ll thrive. And thrive we shall <3

Did you make goals for 2015? What are they?

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
