It is 2013 and I've created some goals. They're not necessarily new, but updated perhaps.
Goal #1: finally run my first half marathon. I've got one picked out. April 13, 2012. It's $75 and I'm paying for it with my next paycheck so I can't back out. Spent half an hour at GNC today looking at all the powders and protein shakes and Amino Acid la-de-das that are supposed to help me. Boy, that industry sure makes a lot of money! I'll probably do without all that. Give me some weights and a path to run and I'll get myself there in a heartbeat. . .
Speaking of which, I finally caved in and joined a gym. I got a free 3-day pass and after checking it out with some friends, decided it was the place to be. No, I mean, really. Everybody at Target works out at this place. 24-hr Fitness. Every day I've gone, I've seen someone from work. Which is cool. No lack of work-out buddies, that's for sure. I run on the treadmill. Not a huge fan but better than not running at all. Cold weather is one thing. Snow and ice is another.
Goal #2: Take guitar lessons. Check. First lesson is next Monday at 5p and then every subsequent Monday from now till I know all there is to know.
Goal #3: Read one book a month (at least). Since I got a Kindle, this should be easy to do. So far, I've got one book on that, one book borrowed from a friend and one book borrowed from Dad. So I'm set till April.
Goal #4: Spend one hour a day doing something completely productive on a personal/practical level (paying bills, working on the photography business, doing laundry, etc). This will be a difficult one, I can already tell.
Goal #5: Get plugged into a church. I've been unplugged for a while. Time to open that spiritual door once more and let some Light in.
So there I am. Goals. Five to start. Let the new year begin!
