The last month of the year is finally here!
I was re-reading my New Year’s post from January and the only New Year’s Resolution was “take it to the next level.” I think that goal has been achieved 100x over. It’s been an insane year (I mean how many life changes can you go through in one year in addition to doing a marathon, a triathlon and 5 half-marathons). Also it’s been a crazy past month, given the life decisions I made in November.
That being said, December is going to be a little nuts. The end of my semester/last final of the semester/last final as an evening law student is in 13 days. The last time I get to go in front of Social Security judges EVER is 14 days. The last day of my job is in 30 days. I should also start training for the Miami Half-marathon this month too. Oh yea, there’s Christmas and New Year’s too.
The final sprint
I was reading this article from Women’s Running on the weird things runners do to get through the final mile. When s*** hits the fan during a race or in life, I always think of what I get to reward myself with afterwards. During a race, it’s always what my post-race brunch meal will be. I think you should live in the moment and be fully present, blah blah blah…but when it’s really miserable, thinking about the post-race or post-finals feeling, is really the only way to get through it.

As for getting through finals, it’s a combination of good food, workouts and actually seeing people. I spent most of this past weekend including today (on my day off from work) in the library. I honestly study best locked up in a room for hours with no wifi or cell service. Except that method of studying will drive you crazy.
But I’m so looking forward to winter break – family, friends, the holidays, the parties. I’m also looking forward to working out with all my workout buddies again (and more than 1x a week). I don’t have much time to travel this month (but also flights are so expensive). I am looking forward to January’s field trips to LA to visit a friend and a trip to Miami for the half-marathon.
What are you all looking forward to this month?

Various work environments want teamwork but the employees work separately. Employees working jobs like these really need activities and corporate events NYC to help them stay related with other workers.
