Yeah, yeah... everyone makes goals for the New Year, and most everyone shoots for the moon only to hit the O-zone and fall right back to where they once were. I'm only twenty, and I haven't really had too many chances to set serious goals to accomplish during my life. Well - I've got quite a few on my list this year, and I plan to make them all happen.
Goal #1 - Graduate in December of 2011. I'm a little ahead of schedule in earning my undergraduate degree, so I plan to take full advantage of that and graduate an entire semester early. Only 29 credit hours to go!
Goal #2 - Run the Boilermaker race in Utica, NY come July. It's a 15K and I am so ready to begin the training for it! It'll be a precursor to Goal #3...
Goal #3 - Run the Half Marathon in Akron, OH in September. This is a full 13 mile race. I've got a partner in crime (my sister, Brenda) who will be right beside me, pushing through to the last minute of the race.
Goal #4 - Eat fewer Doritos and a little less Taco Bell. Ok, this one is going to be tough. But, I am smart enough not to even try to make a goal to cut my large pizza in-take in half. That's just unrealistic.
Goal #5 - Have a little more fun. I tend to take school very seriously - and I don't intend to care less about school - I just need to give myself more time for relaxation, fun, and new experiences. If I plan to graduate in a year, I should plan to fit in as much fun with my friends from school as possible.
Five Goals. One Year. Each one is 100% achievable. But, that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Tune in once in a while for new tales regarding my goal-reaching efforts.
I think goal setting is a phenomenal way to achieve your desires! Having a vision is key, and you've got it! Now I just need to get to a physical therapist so I can also do some serious training for our races!
