New Year's Resolutions!

Hello 2022, Goodbye 2021. The start of the new year is always an exciting time to recharge, refresh, and restart. It's a time to take a moment to reflect on the past year and look forward to the year ahead. Many of us will look at what we accomplished and what’s left to accomplish. As you start to map out your 2022 goals, resolutions, and game plans for the year ahead, let us suggest a few things that we think can help you along the way! 

Here are a few of our favorite things to keep you on track and help you stick to all your New Year’s resolutions and goals.

Sometimes the hardest part of the New Year is setting goals and sticking to them! Let us help you make it easy, join Potomac River Running for an old tradition in the New Year. This January log a minimum of a mile a day for the entire month. It’s as easy as lacing up and getting out! Walk, Run, Jog, and Log!

A Positive Attitude! 

It’s time to smash your negative Nancy and Debbie downer thoughts because 2022 is all about being a positive Polly. Sure you will have setbacks and some days will be harder than others, but keep on keepin' on! This year make a point of staying positive and when life throws you lemons go for a run or walk and then make lemonade to enjoy afterwards! One of our favorite things is to find a mantra, quote, or words to live by and when you start to get sour, remember those words! You Got This! So grab a glass and pour yourself some lemonade because 2022 will be sweeter than ever with a positive attitude! 

A Cheerleader, Coach, or BRF (Best Running Friend)
