Firsts of 2015

As each new year approaches I enjoy looking back over the last twelve months to see what I have done differently during the year. I especially like to review what new things I have learned and experienced.  Here is a quick look at 2015.

• I visited Canada for the first time with a trip to Niagara Falls.  It only lasted about 45 minutes because it was freezing, but it was beautiful and exciting!

• I published my first children’s book with the help of my granddaughter.  She did the illustrations for Gary Learns to Skate. She was six years-old!

• First book signing with my granddaughter.

• I published my first book about running.

• First book signing in a running store – two, actually!  Thank you to Shu’s and Pocatello Running Company for hosting!

• First speaking gig about book marketing.

• First root beer float at the Frostop in Ashton. ( I have had root beer floats before, but I can’t remember ever stopping at the Frostop for one!)

• First writers contest and event sponsored by the ICAN

• I designed and published my first website! Check it out!

• First appearance in Eagle Magazine

• First bit.ly link

• First time I shattered the screen on my iPhone. Very sad!

I would love to hear about what you did for the first time in 2015. Message me in the comments below.

Enjoy your New Year celebration!  Be safe and be happy!

Happy Running!
