Things to do for 2007
Gosh. Where have the years gone? I remember sitting at the family dining room table not quite getting used to the idea of seeing “2000″ as part of the date on a newspaper.
Now I sit here and look behind me. I’m looking for those six years that somehow snuck by when I wasn’t looking. Or mabye I was drunk and slumped over a bottle of vodka when they slunk by.. giggling and pointing at me.
But as mothers are bound to say, there’s no use crying over spilled milk. Time’s arrow continues to track unerringly forward, things and people need to be done.
I never was much on new year’s resolutions. I always subscribed to the the notion that any form of self-improvement is always best started right now. As in right now. Why wait around for some arbitary day of the year that supposedly siginfies some new year, when not even all calendars or all cultures even observe the same new year. Just get started on it now. Or tomorrow, if there’s this candy bar you want to finish off before starting that diet.
However I do have a few items I’d like to stratch off for 2007. So without further ado, the list - in roughly chronological order:
- Run ten miles without needing medical assistance afterwards. (this leads up to another item below)
- Boulder V9 at the gym. Need to show those 19 year old punks at the gym that a 32 year old man can still kick their ass. And since they’re getting better every day. I have to as well. What I don’t tell the punks is that I’m hurting all over afterwards. Advil! Stat!
- [this item shall remain personal to me]
- Purchase a 85 1.2L. Biggest, most expensive piece of glass you’ll ever see.
- On October 28, 2007 - Run the Marines Marathon. Ill take any time as long as I don’t DNF. Under four hours if I’m lucky
- Move to San Francisco

love those #2 and #6. but i may not be around by the time you get here this autumn!
I was thinking of signing up for the marine corps marathon too.
The registration starts sometime in February - from what I hear, it fills up quickly.
Their website - http://www.marinemarathon.com/ - seems to indicate registration starts in May. But yes you’re right, I’ve been told to be sure to register immediately.

yeah one blink equals 5 years…. wish we could control our time! I would love to sign up for marine marathon… I am now on a mission of running for the las vegas marathon on Dec 2, 2007. I have been running 5 miles once a week then add other 5 miles every other month to make my body become getting used to a long distance. I have to keep my commitment to it and finish it. Hey Tim.. good luck with your goals for 2007!
