New year, new beginnings, new intentions and resolutions. It's always great to have a fresh start every 12 months and reflect on the past and look toward the future. To kick off my project for the Zutter 11 for '11 Blog Hop, I have made something that actually relates to goals I made LAST YEAR.You see, last year I resolved to get fit, and started running. On the left is me in December 2009 - very goofy looking at the Santa Run, trying to divert attention from the fact that I was barely running and out of breath! On the right is me November 2010, running my personal best time in the Turkey Trot 5k. Fitter, fleeter, and 30 lbs lighter! Not out of breath, but invigorated!
Now to get you started on your Zuttery New Year, you can use coupon code ZUTTER11 at http://www.binditall.com/ for a 11% discount off everything on the site (that isn't already on sale). Discount valid through 1/31/11!

Fantastic idea for a project, and well done you on getting in shape, and boy did you do it well, way to go you :D
First off, CONGRATS to you on setting a goal and achieving it! You look awesome. Unfortunately I had to give up running due to 2 broken bones in my foot that I was told by the Doc would shatter if I didn't stop running. Second - I love your idea - it's great to see the medals and photos to keep you inspired to continue your fitness journey.
Thank you for the inspiration!
