(I’m not sure why we’ve all become so offended by making a few good old-fashioned “new year’s resolutions” but whatever, I can go with it)
Dr-ing goals:
- Become good at learning and remembering peoples’ names (Yes. I know this violates the New Year’s
Resolutionsgoals making rules…”good” isn’t measurable…it should be quantitative…blehblehbleh…I want to become good at learning and remembering peoples’ names. Sue me.) - Become comfortable making non-painfully-awkward small talk (Refer to goal #1 if you disagree with setting a goal to be “comfortable”)
- Read one paper a day (NOT the MN Daily)
- Graduate
Trotting goals:
- Run 5 days a week (1 mile, 5 miles, 20 miles, whatever, just get my ass outside and do something)
- Finish the Mt. Kilimanjaro marathon (t < 6 hrs)
- Half-marathon PR
Me goals:
- Be a non-promiscuous, healthy vegetarian again (i.e. eat loads and loads of fresh fruits and veggies, no cheating on tartar, sushi or bone marrow and cheese curds and beer are NOT an acceptable dinner — even during orals season)
- Drink enough water (Refer to Dr-ing goal #1 if you don’t like the use of “enough”)
- Get a reasonable start on my/our children’s book series TAPP — hopefully this will make sense in a year
- Maximize the use of my electronics: iPad, cell phone, computer(s), mp3 players. All of them.
- Be at work during “normal business hours” (+/- 20%)
- Start and maintain a blog on the joys, frustrations, enigmas and epiphanies of science and running — you’re welcome
