1. Adopt & Train a Dog
I have had dogs all my life, but I've never adopted one. This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, so I decided to take the plunge recently and do it! I adopted a (roughly) 2 year old Pitt Bull Terrier/Boston Terrier mix (I think - there's no way to be sure unless I buy one of those doggy DNA tests, which is not quite in the budget right now) from my local animal shelter.

2. Run My 2nd Half Marathon
Last January, I ran the Walt Disney World Half Marathon, which was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Between the training and the accomplishment of finishing the race, I felt great about myself! Unfortunately, life happened and running fell to the wayside. In come big life events - I recently got engaged to the love of my life (who fully supported me adopting a rescue pitt bull from a city shelter... what a catch!) - between the engagement and the new, high-energy pup, I decided it was time for Half Marathon #2.

3. Start a Blog
I wanted to set a non-work, non-school, non-fitness goal for myself - in comes blogging! This blog will serve as my third big goal for this year. Through this blog, I will chronicle my adventures training my dog and training myself. Between her training and mine, Pepper and I will be working together a lot this year!
