Holy cow, 2009 is about to end! I can’t believe it. I’m out of town at the moment and will be celebrating new years in a different city for a change! Wooo… Visiting family is tiring and I think it doesn’t help that the rest of the country is on holiday too! Been planning my next whirlwind trip and basically have figured out only some of the things we’re going to do. I guess we’ll do most of the tourist things.

So a year to reflect on and really, I don’t have much to say. It has been a busy year for me with transitions at work and trying to accomplish my goals outside of that. Clearly a lifestyle change has happened there. Said goodbye to some friends who departed the fair golden shores to head back to their old home countries, thank god for Facebook! I have to say I have made even more lovely friends this year and re-connected with old ones too! (Thank Facebook again for that)

Proud to say I completed 4 run events all within reasonable times and all PBs! Yay! Next years list of goals will probably mirror them and will all be to get a better personal time. Work wise I hope things all go well down the path I have chosen and I get to the level that I want (although that will never be enough). Anyway, I hope next year will not be as labourous as it was this year – it has been a real test of character this year with a lot of stress and new challenges being undertaken – glad I made it through semi-unscathed!

So list time it is:

1. Finish Gold Coast Half Marathon with a better time than 2009
2. Finish Mother’s Day classic with a better time than 2009
3. Finish Brisbane Half Marathon
4. Get closer to the goal of a size 8!! (it’s been a goal for almost 2 years now!)
5. Be more financially secure
6. Hope my plants survive till 2011!

Till I blog again, happy new year!
