I am not one for "resolutions" for the new year as they can sometimes get so ludicrous that they are rarely kept and usually abandoned by the end of January. This year, for 2009, I wanted to just "have some fun" with logging in a few "things" with the hope of coming back in January 2010, to see just how many not only came true, but how "close" I came to fulfilling them. Yes, juvenile...but, hey...you have to admit it is kind've fun! I could set some "goals" and pursue them with precision, dedication and persistence (to ensure they happen) or I could do nothing more than make a few "predictions" of what I "think" have a remote chance of possibly coming to pass by December 31, 2009. So, here is my "wish list" of goals and predictions:
1. Prediction: The last day of the year will take place on December 31st! (OK! I'll get serious)
2. Prediction: I will be tagged for one deployment (Afghanistan or Qatar)
3. Goal: To be under 200 pounds (I am currently 225)
4. Goal: To read through the Bible
5. Prediction: To welcome or be expecting our next child
6. Goal: To set an all-time best in my PT run...meaning running faster than 11:27
7. Goal: To improve my waist measurement from 37.5" to at least 35"
8. Prediction: That I can fulfill at least 2 of my goals "for sure."
Well, for someone like me who has absolutely no patience, I will have to wait until January 1, 2010 for the results. Until then, I better get busy! Happy New Year!

Happy new year!
Well, here I am a year later and I can't say that all went as predicted...which, really isn't that surprising. I managed to complete just ONE! Predictions 2-5 just didn't happen. As for #6, I DID succeed...I ran 11:25 and set a personal record. The last two went unreached. Next time, I will make them smaller and not so broad.
