So I've set the goal of trying to improve myself over the summer by being more social and exercising. I've decided every day to do something related to either fitness or friends (when possible), and I just finished running my first 1/2 mile! I'm pretty out of shape, so the run was fairly difficult,, but I feel great afterwards, and I think I'll be able to commit to it. The ultimate goal is to run a half marathon with my dad in a year's time on Achill Island, in Ireland. That's where my family originates from, and we have several relatives on the island, but I haven't visited in 8 years. This is a nice goal to set for myself, something cool I can do with my dad, and a way to connect with my roots. Hopefully I'm able to stick with it and make this happen!
