New Year, New Goals |
|
1 January 2025 - Alpharetta
Most of my trip here in the States so far I've passed in sickness, as I got walloped rather hard by a cold along with Ken and Grandma. After opening presents Christmas morning I went to bed and slept for two days straight. We're all on the mend now, but this one lingers.
As usual this time of year it makes sens to look back on the previous year's goals and set down some new ones for 2025. My plan to average 25 km a week was not met, but I kept myself healthy in the pursuit, averaging 22-23 for the first three quarters and then fell apart with injury and sickness in the fourth. I'll keep this goal for the new year and add back in the goal from a couple years back of running in four new countries. I've already signed up for a pair in Bratislava & Budapast in April. For my goal for reading 50 books I managed 44. I'll be aiming for 50 again this year and adding the goal of reading one CS book per quarter and one book auf Deutsch. I was about 60/40 on my other personal goals, which is not too bad. The sisyphean goal of losing weight I'll again be aiming for 80kg as I start the year around 100. I also want to get back in the habit of doing regular yoga so I'm going to set myself the goal of thrice weekly sessions. I also want to give a talk to a live audience again and finally publish a book. Seems like a lot, maybe, but I've got a whole year.
And if I take good enough care of myself, maybe I'll be doing the dishes at 98 too!
