2011 Resolutions

TransMonk Dec 30 2010 08:41 AM

Any resolutions of note for the coming year? I plan on running 1000 miles and biking 1500 miles in 2011. They are lofty goals, but I'm going to give it my best.

Ceetar Dec 30 2010 09:15 AM Re: 2011 Resolutions

I'm going to relose the weight I lost early this year and neglected in the last quarter, plus another 15lbs. Attempt to be less lazy in working on my website and just generally writing more. Maybe take a step in figuring out where I want my job/career/makingalivingness to go. (or win the Lotto anyway)

Yup :)

Trying to come up with 11 running resolutions for 2011... here's what I have so far: 1. Run 11 5k's. 2. Run a 10k. 3. Run a 15k. 4. Run a half-marathon. 5. Beat my best 5k time of 22:44. 6. Run a race with a fellow CPF'er. 7. Run at least one race outside of NY State. 8. Track my mileage ran and top 500 miles for 2011.

9. See 11 cocks.

10. Conquer my cockaphobia.

themetfairy Dec 30 2010 12:01 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

1a) Learn more about photography; 1b) Participate in the 365 Pictures in 365 Days project; 2) Complete my Rosetta Stone French course; and 3) Drop 4-5 pounds. I'm about two pounds above goal weight as of this morning; I'd like to get back below goal weight so I have a little wiggle room to work with.

Edgy DC Dec 31 2010 09:56 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

I'll steal some 1) Run 1,000 miles. 2) Drop 25. 3) Finish two recording projects. 4) See Reggie Jackson indicted for the murder of Leslie Neilsen.

Get married drop 10 Finish recording album.

Ceetar Dec 31 2010 10:13 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

Like Kesha, I resolve not to become a douchbag.

metsmarathon Dec 31 2010 10:14 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

my overarching resolution, aside from the general be a better, nicer, more organized person stuff is to not sabotage my efforts at qualifying for the boston marathon. this entails losing weight, sleeping more, eating better, snacking less, exercising more. all that good stuff.

Do more things I've never done before. Do the things I've done before better.

Fman99 Jan 01 2011 11:29 AM Re: 2011 Resolutions

Finished my list of 2011 resolutions. I realized I was being too conservative and added a couple of more challenging items. 1. Run 11 5k's. 2. Run a 10k. 3. Run a 15k. 4. Run a half-marathon. 5. Beat my best 5k time of 22:44. 6. Run a race with a fellow CPF'er. 7. Run at least one race outside of NY State. 8. Track my mileage ran and top 500 miles for 2011. 9. Lose that last 3 lbs, get to 150 and stay there. 10. Run a 10 mile race. 11. Run all six events of the Syrathon and get the medal they give out.

I'm going with: 1) Get back within ten pounds of my HS "playing weight" by year's end (which means I've got 70 lbs. to drop). 2) Rid my speech of all fucking obscenity (well, at least the four-letter variety). 3) Improve my Spanish at least to the point where my daughter isn't lapping me in fluency by year's end.

Edgy DC wrote: 1) Run 1,000 miles. Not to pee on anyone's resolve here but that's an awfully big goal, and easy to miss with even a minor injury, a biz deadline or routine illness during the course of the year. I felt like I ran a lot this year but between vacations, busy periods of work, Mets games, illnesses, injury etc it all added up to something like 650. My resolution in 2011 is to kind of step up into and embody the general simplification program I'd unwittingly begun in 2010 when I ransacked my closet and rid myself of piles of clothes I never wore or didn't fit. I'd like to further uncomplicate things in my life, whether that means parting with some possessions or sticking to a schedule better etc etc etc. Also to talk to you clowns less on the Internet and more when possible in real life.

Edgy DC Jan 02 2011 08:01 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

Thanks for the advice. I'm happy to not reach it. But I need a target to tick off numbers from. If it takes me 20-25 months, that's OK. Business deadlines kill me. I fall off the cola wagon, drop out of exercise routines, and transform into the monster known as Mr. Crankypants. So let's make it 11. 1) Run 1,000 miles. 2) Drop 25. 3) Finish two recording projects. 4) Visit my mother (and NYC) more. 5) Submit a paper or session proposal or something to the Mets conference. 6) If I can't be a father, be a better uncle. 7) Get out. 8) Sing. 9) Dance. 10) Write. 11) Haunt CitiField like the ghost of Steve Rogers.

I thought of another 'resolution'. I want to join an amateur/pickup baseball league of some sort.

Ooh, that Mets paper one is good. I'm stealing that one, maybe.

How is everyone doing on their resolutions? One of the paralegals here happened to hit Starbucks at just the right time and was given all of this morning's leftover doughnuts, cakes and cupcakes. It's like they're intentionally trying to undermine my resolutions. Mine are: 1. More focused at work (less goofing off on the internet) 2. Work out regularly 3. Salads for lunch 4. Drink less (both drink less frequently, and drink less when I drink) 5. Continue to quit smoking 6. Visit Doctor 7. Visit Dentist 8. Refi mortgage 9. Get bike, ride it

Edgy DC Jan 11 2011 12:22 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

I'm not doing particuarly well on this year's resolutions, but I'm within a month or so of fulfilling last year's resolution of paying off all credit card debt.

themetfairy Jan 11 2011 12:54 PM Re: 2011 Resolutions

Doing ok so far - I haven't missed a day with my 365 Pictures in 365 Days project, and I'm signed up for an intro photography course at my local community college in the spring. I'm halfway through my Rosetta Stone French course. I should be substantially done with that by the start of the baseball season. I'm right around my goal weight. I had been a little above that recently, so being right at goal is positive. I hope to be two or three pounds below that eventually, but I'm basically where I should be, weight-wise.
