Resolutions, goals, whatever you want to call them!

I know these are a couple of days late but here are my new years resolutions or goals for the upcoming year.

1.  Lose 60 lbs - I have actually already started to work on this goal.  Before Christmas this goal was more like lose 70 lbs but I have taken a little bit off so far and will continue.  I am hoping to be down in the 210s by the time the MTB races start in late summer.

2.  Be active 7 hours a week - This is actually what I used to do when I was in shape.  I made sure I got 7 hours of exercise in a week.  I am not too picky about the form of this exercise as long as I am being active at least one hour a day.

3.  Run at least one of the fall DORBA races - I really miss my mountain bike rides.  After Kevin got sick just seemed to stop riding.  So this year I am going to get back on my bike and run the races again.  It's been probably 5 years since I rode a race.

4.  Watch less TV - I am able to meet #2 on this list then this won't be that hard.  I have already gone through my DVR and killed several shows that honestly were not that good but I watched them anyway.

5. Ride 100 miles in one day - This is something I always wanted to do.  I would really like to do the Hotter than Hell 100 but I am not sure that is within my grasp this year.  But I would take just getting on my trainer and knocking out 100 miles in one day.

6.  Start running again - I would really like to start running again.  Unfortunately this might be out of my control due to some chronic injuries and problems.  However, once my weight starts to drop down a little I would really like to start getting back out and pounding the pavement.

7.  Get outdoors more - I just spend too much time inside.

8.  Fit into that damn Yahoo jersey! - John bought me that jersey when he was on the Yahoo! campus.  He bought a XXL but it is a European size and the XXL only refers to the length not the girth of the person.  SO I have never fit into it, but this year will be the year!!!

And GO!
Here's to a great new year!!!
