first

In 2016, I am finally going to knock some of these tasks off my bucket list.

So I submitted a manuscript to a publisher and registered for a marathon on January 1st.

Now I should go get my wrist tattoo. 

I will spend the next few months running and doing yoga. And then running some more. And I’ll start eating better.

But first, I am online, buying running clothes. And of course I’m taking my kids to get donuts. Because first. There always has to be a first. If it weren’t for what came first, how would we ever chose to become better later?

In 2016, I will become better. I will become a beast, a machine, a pinnacle of discipline. Because it’s always been inside of me, I’ve just never let it out all the way. I’ve always been stuck in first.
