Chicken, Miles, and PanCan - 2013 Resolutions

What are your resolutions for 2013? Can they include helping create hope for those battling pancreatic cancer?

My three resolutions for 2013 are simple:

1- Eat more rotisserie chicken.  With Las Brasas delivering, Mercantile on my husband's route home, and those great ones at the Farmer's Market, I have no excuse not to take advantage of our town's delicious protein offerings.

2 - Run a half marathon in under two hours.  This is another Decatur-y one.  We have three running stores!  And great routes!  Plus, we have all those amazing restaurants that force me to run even more miles.  (I'm looking at you, Cakes and Ale Bakery.)

3 - Create hope for those battling pancreatic cancer.  My mom died of this horrible disease over the summer and I have to help.  It has a bad reputation that it deserves with such a low survival rate.  I'm going to work to help those who have been diagnosed and their families.  I'm going to start by making this meeting and probably eating more delicious foods to make me run more.  It's a cycle, man.
