Here's how I'm doing on my 2008 goals so far.
☐ Means that I've made progress, ☑ means I reached it, and ☒ means I haven't really started yet.
☑ 1. Become a "marathon maniac" this year.
☑ 2. Do a 50K run this year.
☑ 3. Finish Ironman Coeur D'Alene before midnight, without crying.
☒ 4. Get down to about 150 pounds. (68 kg or 10.7 stone) Current weight: 156. and holding steady.
☐ 5. Get my professional counselor's license.
☒ 6. I resolve to lower the amount of fat in my diet. On the short list of things that must be avoided: Cheap nachos.
☐ 7. Run a sub-10-minute pace on a 5K. Current per mile pace (5k) PR: 10:16
☑ 8. Bring my run volume up to at least 20 miles a week, 3 weeks/month.
☒ 9. Clean out the den/study.
☑ 10. Write more silly haikus. Here's one, for Tea:
Ah, the Ironman!
Cheering crowds, gels, gatorade,
Cheering crowds, gels, gatorade,
and golden showers!
☑ 11. I will not consume wheat grass juice and chlorella.
