I’m not going to make any resolutions this year. It’s getting old. Every year I resolve to save more money, eat better, exercise more, blah, blah. These things have graduated from resolutions to more of life goals and I think I’m actually doing pretty well. There’s always room for improvement, but nobody’s perfect, right?
2008 has been a pretty good year thus far. I did a 5k race on New Years Day (Resolution Run at Sand Point) and ran the best time I’ve done in a while, 25:57/8:27min per mile. I still haven’t jumped in Lake Washington to complete the “dip” portion of the race. Maybe next year….
I finished my first book of the year (never mind that I started it in 2007. It still counts, dammit!) and I also managed to get started on a new knitting project. I only had to rip it out twice. It’s going to take me a while, but I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of the double knitting and following a complicated pattern. I still can’t zone out with this project, but I’ve been able to get into more of a groove with it.
I need to enjoy my time now. Work is ramping up again and I’m probably going to 6 days/week starting this weekend. At least I don’t have anything to study for or any homework to do. This is the first time in a while. I do want to do a Masters program, but for now I’m just enjoying having down time. And hobbies.
Happy New Year Everyone! Here’s to hoping that 2008 is a great year!
