February in Review

It's the last day of the month and time to reflect on my intentions for February. Let's see how I did: 

1.     Post a 31 before 32 list.

Done! Check it out here.

2.     Have a great birthday weekend (I'm planning dinner and a movie with hubs and brunch with my girls.)

Did this too and had a fabulous time at Edgar’s Bakery. I forgot to take pictures, though. I must get better about that.

3.     Run a half-marathon.

I did it and, much to my surprise, I survived! Here’s the post I wrote over at my blog GeorgiaMae.com about my race and my decision to start running despite my battles with a connective tissue disease.

4.     Start a new workout regimen.

Fail! I knew after completing the marathon I wanted to cut down on the amount of running I do each week (for the sake of my joints) and develop a new routine. While I’ve gotten back into attending the dance-based aerobics class Body Jam every Wednesday, my plans to lift weights three times a week simply have not happened.

5.     Start guest blogging. 

I was honored to write a post for The Social Path on the social media hiatus I took in January.

6.     Post three Blog Like a Girl Q&As. 

Perhaps this was too ambitious. I managed to post one on the lovely L.K. Whitney of Magic City Made.

7.     Plan the next See Jane Write event. 

Still working on this.

8.     Write more articles for Clutch, Guerrero Howe, and Weld.

Fail! Sort of. I did write for Guerrero Howe, but produced nothing for Clutch or Weld. Sigh.

9.     Write and submit an essay to one of my favorite publications. 

Fail. Hope to fix this next month.

10. Go out on a girl-date.

Some of you know I’m on a mission to find a new best friend, so I’ve been trying to get back into the girl-dating scene. I think I’ve found the one, but I don’t want to speak too soon, so more on this later. 

I’ll be back tomorrow with my list of intentions for March.

How did the month of February treat you?
