2008 accomplishments I am proud of:
- Finishing Philadelphia Marathon, without walking this time!
- Doing all the work to get guaranteed entry to 2009 NYC Marathon (ran 9 races and volunteered in another).
- Writing an article that appeared in The Objective Standard.
- Learning to tango.
- Getting into the Oratorio Society and singing Handel's Messiah in Carnegie Hall.
- Sinking my hooks permanently into testitest. :)
Stuff I want to accomplish in 2009:
- Get hitched!
- Run NYC Marathon, preferably setting a PR while doing so.
- Get weight down to 145 lbs by May. No, this is NOT primarily to look better in my wedding dress (although that will be a nice bonus); it's to feel better running my next marathon. Since trying to lose weight while training for the marathon doesn't work so well for me, I'm going to lose the weight before the heavy training starts.
- Sub-goal of #3: Quit my Coke habit. (Too many calories.) Seltzer with lime, here I come.
- Get promoted. I'm pretty sure it will happen in the spring; I've earned it.
