New Years Resolutions 2012
12012 is a year of unknowns. I don’t have a crystal ball (I hear those things are really expensive). But I do have goals. I’d like to share a few. Why? Because writing it here is how I hold myself accountable.
- Continue with 30-day fitness challenges
- Start by being active 30 minutes every single day
- Run a Half Marathon in less than 2:00:00
- Start biking
- Make a fancy(ish) home-made meal once a week
- Read 20 books
- Launch my new blog
- Create new blog posts at least twice a week
- Include a new video at least once a week
- Get my new blog mentioned in trade articles
- Visit family at least four times (every quarter– that’s double last year)
- Do more work with the American Cancer Society
- Get 8 hours of sleep per night
- I’ve mastered Philadelphia Rolls, now learn how to make more sushi (including the Dragon Roll!)
- Watch a TV show only once
My 2011 accomplishments:
- Ran my first marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon (26.2 miles)
- I ran two Half Marathons (Chicago and St. Louis)
- Ran the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler
- I raised $1,526 for the American Cancer Society
- Learned how to make sushi
- Went to two performances at the Kennedy Center (first time!)
- I became a MacHead (MacBook Pro, iPhone4s, iPod, iPad)

Cool… you’ve done great and I’m sure you’ll continue!
