I've been having a hard time coming up with solid, measurable goals for the upcoming year. I know that I want to pray more and love more and give more, but it will be hard to judge at the end of the year if those tasks have been accomplished. Still, I will try.
I'd also love to say that I will make it to 100 pounds lost, but given my history of the last two and half years, I'm not positive that I will be able to seal that deal. Still, I will continue to try.
In racing news, I have more concrete goals.
- I will complete at least two sprint triathlons this year and perhaps an Olympic distance triathlon.
- I will run a personal record in the 5k, which means I'll finish in less than 33:36.
- I will run at least one more 10k and then decide once and for all if I will attempt a half marathon sometime in my lifetime.
In the area of personal goals:
- I will to try that trampoline aerobics class, Airobics.
- I will paint at least one wall in my house that I've lived in for 4.5 years and never painted anything.
- I will continue blogging.
- I will get my savings account back up to where it should be.
- I will read at least 60 books. (This year I read 67.)
That's all I've got for now, but you know I'm always adding to and amending these goals of mine to stay focused.
Now for this week's goals. Over the last two weeks, I've abandoned all of my healthy habits, so my goals are back to the basics:
Five workouts a week, including three runs, and three liters of water a day.
I can do this.

What goals do you have for Twenty-Twelve?
Last year my goal was to read the Bible straight through, which I did, though I frequently fell behind in the daily reading assignments and had to catch up. This year my goal is to read the Bible everyday. I do not expect to actually perfectly attain this goal, but I do plan on doing better than last year :)

I want to write at least two times a week (non-school, non prayer journal); I want to contact a friend/relative at least once a week (this can be email, phone call, letter, etc); I want to host at least 4 dinner parties this calendar year; I want to read/work through at least two solid devotionals this year (a good Lent one, preferably); I want to hang pictures by the end of this month.
