For those of us prone to apoplectic goal-setting benders, New Year’s is like a latte. We know we can do without it but we’re sucked in by the taste and caffeine kick.

Once again I’m laying out the red carpet ressies to my hubbie. It is hard to limit myself to three:

• Going to run 5K
• Start Spanish lessons for myself and the kiddo
• Get organized

Mark was surprised about the 5K as — typical Leo — I’ve only run a mile on the TREADMILL twice and I’m picturing myself going over the finish line seeing supportive family on sidelines with “Go Katie” poster. My daughter hugging my neck and Mark giving me congratulatory kiss.

But, although I’ve run a 5K a loooonnnnnng time ago, I want to do it again. But, running outside means subjecting myself to sweat, sunscreen burning my eyes and the fear of wearing shorts in public.

Technically, it’s not 2008 yet so I still have about 24 hours to lighten up on the juice. For example, why not simply pledge to:

• Vote
• Get more sleep
• Cook dinner on occasion

This means I’m taking on six (6) resolutions. If I can only stick to these and NOT add more.

Gimme another latte and I’ll think about it.
