So, I have a few goals in the personal category. Beyond my word of the year, which is "vulnerability," I want to go to Orangetheory Fitness at lest 3x a week, and run a complete 5k before the end of the year. (Basic, I know, but I'm trying to keep things manageable!)

In the bigger picture, have a dream list of travel destinations, all which I hope to be able to cover for Power Plays. They include:

-Women's Final Four in New Orleans

-2 women's hockey games (this season)

-Women's College World Series

-NPF game

-WNBA game at an arena I've never been to

-NWSL game at a stadium I've never been to

-LPGA tournament

-WTA tournament that's not in DC

The more I can cover in person, the more I can serve you all and grow this space. So I'm thinking big!

What about all of you?

My goal for the year is to bring at least two friends to Chicago Sky games this summer to spread the word about how great women's basketball is to watch. I will meet you at a Sky game, if you've never been to Wintrust Arena!. I've never been to a NWSL game, so another goal of mine is go to a Red Stars game.

That's right! They play near O'Hare. We have a lot of great women's sports here. They are almost hidden gems since they get virtually no media coverage. By the way, I've been throwing your 'women get 4% of sports media coverage' figure everywhere. :)

I went to the final four in 2013, the last time it was held in NOLA, and it was AMAZING. Such a good city and they put on a great event!

I am so excited for NOLA -- and Glenn, I'm from Greensboro, so will probably be there for some of the ACC tourney too, since I've got lots of free housing options.
