Reflection on 2010

Wow, I cannot believe it is going to be 2011 tomorrow. I have been thinking of what transpired over the last year and let me tell you 2010 was a great year for me!!

As I look back and both my personal and professional life I have made many gains and have taken some losses too I'd have to admit.

Here are some highlights of 2010:

1. I became a Director of the CNY Triathlon Club putting together the Oneida Shores
   Training Series that took Place every Wednesday night from April to September.
   Boy did we have a great turn out. Im hoping my honey and I will still be able to
   conquer this this year.

2. My place of employment went through many changes. We lost 2 doctors in the
   matter of a few months and the PA and I had to hold the practice from going down
  for the most part.

3. I made some great advances in triathlon! I placed 1st in my age group, 2nd in my
   age group twice, 11th OA, 1st OA and I did my first HIM!! Only can get better
   right?!!

4. I hired a wonderful coach who I admire so deeply

5. My honey and I made it through a great 2010 without killing each other!! LOL!

6. My daughter did her first triathlon

7. I had an opportunity for placement in a job I would enjoy but turned it down  
    because I truely care about the people I see on a day to day basis now and quite  
    frankly it fits my lifestyle

8. Started Blogging!!!

9. I've met some great and inspiring people, all the people that I meet inspire me in
   some way. I thank all of you who read my blog. I love reading yours and each and
   everyone of you have made me say wow once or twice!!

There are a few things I am hoping for in 2011. I have goals that I want to achieve
Heres a snap shot

1. Finish an IM standing up!!
2. Clean up my Nutrition
3. Start looking at ways I can educate our clients more, like having educational
    sessions after hours. Teach the nursing staff at the office, maybe even try and
    teach a nursing class..what the heck. Worth a try!
4. Be more patient with the people around me. Somedays are more trying than others
    with a 7 year old if you know what I mean!
5. Always be willing to listen. I think that you get so caught up into what you think is
    right or you want to get your point across that you miss what the other person is 
    trying to say. I think Im a pretty good listener but fine tuning this is on tap for
    2011
6. Not letting that A girl be 1st in my age group...Im hunting her down!! LOL!

Im sure I have more but this is all I can think of at the moment!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Be safe and enjoy your night!

    It's amazing what listening can bring out in yourself.

    Have a Happy and Great Start to your 2011!

  5. Thanks for putting together the Oneida Shores series! I've never made it to Jamesville, because I feel like everyone who goes there is way beyond me, but Oneida Shores has lots of newbies, and I feel much more at home!

    Happy New Year! Good luck with your 2011 goals.

  7. Love the listen one. My mind's such a zoo most of the time, I have a hard time spooling down, focusing and just listening. And can't wait for the stories of getting the "A" girl! :)
