Resolutions/Goals for 2009

Here it is, my official list for the New Year:

1. Run the New York Marathon, November 2009.

2. Qualify for the 2010 Boston Marathon.

3. Complete the Imogene Pass Race in September 2009.

4. Visit the Grand Canyon - backpack/camp on the North Rim (reservations pending) - this is my substitution for the AT until I can realistically take 3-4 months of time off.

5. Run a 5K in less than 24 minutes

6. Get a 300 on the Army APFT by October 2009.

7. Get promoted a rank or finally get my commission

8. Put $3000 away for "Just-in-case"

9. Take the Foreign Service Exam again in February

10. Apply for PhD programs to begin classes Fall 2010

As the year progresses, I'm sure there will be many additions. Of course, you'll be among the first to know when I accomplish any one of these. Stay tuned!
