Before I move on to 2008, thank you to my friends and family for making 2007 a memorable year. I feel so fortunate to have such a loving family, supportive and wonderful friends and quite simply amazing people in my life. You know who you are. I try to tell you often how much you all mean to me... please know how important you are and how thankful I am. As for 2008, I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what I want to accomplish in the next year, both personally and professionally.
I am a goal oriented person and to better myself I always set a few goals, lofty and otherwise, for a New Year.
A few of my goals for 2008:
My "biggest" goal for 2008 is to complete my first Ironman distance triathlon -- Ironman Coeur D'Alene. Beyond simply completing the race, I would like to finish this race in under 14 hours. It is going to take a huge commitment of time and perseverance to reach, and will likely put a damper on my social life, which I do not look forward to. However, my time goal is something I will strive for.
I feel as though professionally I have been on a very good track for the past few years with the exception of the past few weeks. I hit the normal end of the year burnout, which has been remedied by an amazing week and a half of fun-filled adventures. I will continue to strive for partnership in my firm, and am hopeful that my clients continue to praise the work I do for them. I still feel as though I am in my dream job, which I know is extremely rare for many in the legal profession.
I strive to be a better daughter, sister, aunt, girlfriend, and friend to my family and friends. Those who know me and whom I love know I will do anything for them. That being said, I want to do more and let those know who thankful I am that they are in my life. Additionally, over the past year I have made a real effort to put my needs and wants in the forefront (something that has been neglected in the past) and I hope to continue in these efforts in 2008.
While I have many other goals for 2008, some are better left kept to myself.
I wish everyone health and every happiness in 2008. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Jennie...hope the next 6 months of tri-training goes well for you. An Ironman is a pretty special goal/accomplishment.
Best of luck.

Will, thank you! Wishing you a WONDERFUL 2008! I am sure I will see you out and about, as I intend on participating in many PCTR's in 2008. I hope your 2008 season is a great one, which I am sure it will be, as I have seen you in action!
Spoken like a bad girl...I saw your post on my blog missy, haha.
IM Coeur D'Alene is a great goal. You've been building your base, you have a great coach, a sweet new bike, great training partners, the self-discpline and drive, Just stay healthy and injury free and you've got it.
