Cooking
- Select and prepare one recipe per month that challenges me (i.e. involves an in-depth procedure or a technique or piece of equipment that is unfamiliar to me).
Running
- 400 miles
- I'd like to work on speed this year. I'll never be a fast runner, but I slowed down a little in 2010, and I'm not happy about it. So, by July 1st, I hope to reduce my minutes/mile pace by 30 seconds/mile for my standard five-mile run before work. By December 31st, I hope to finish this standard run one minute per mile faster.
Reading
In addition to all selections for both book clubs I'm in, I will read the following books:
- My tome/challenge for the year (and a fun endeavor with Brad--more on this later): The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
- Books I am embarrassed to admit I have never read: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery
- Loved the audio version so much that now I have to read it (and also another book I'm embarrassed to admit I've never read): Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- In my backyard (I grew up 70 miles from Hannibal, MO, the home of Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer Days every July, yet I've never read Twain's work.): The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

Gooood for you! That's awesome that you logged all those miles while pregnant. Impressive in my book. You made me want to check my miles out for last year via Runkeeper and I ran 121 miles in 2010. I'm pretty proud of that considering I used to HATE running. I'm going to try to log 300 miles this year...you inspired me! ;)
I am SO proud of you!! Way to go, Rebecca, and you DEFINITELY get credit for running. I'm still having trouble, and I'm not even preggers! Do you seriously run 5 miles before you go to work? I think I just got a leg cramp thinking about that.
AWESOME~
