Now That We’ve Made It

Welcome to 2012!Whether 2011 has been a great year for you or your bluest one on record, here’s some good news: It’s over!

2011 is in the bag. It’s done. History. Past. El gone’ o.

My advice is to

  • Remember the good.
  • Count the blessings.
  • Remember those who have gone on before us.
  • Hold tight to the good memories.
  • Let the bad go.
  • Cry over it.
  • Dig out the lessons.
  • Write the lessons down and remember to use them.
  • Then, shut the damn door and move on.

 

We’ve got a future to think about.

Here are my resolutions for this (new) year:

  • Repeat the Marathon with a PR of 4:00.
  • Return to my ideal weight (175).
  • Become a champion for weight loss in my community.
  • Develop an online community for runners that’s exciting, universal and fun.
  • Have a banner year in the auto industry.
  • Improve my writing and speaking skills.
  • Improve my balance of life between ambition, career and family.
  • Remove anger from my vocabulary.
  • Integrate podcasting and video blogging into this site.

 

Crap! I need to slow down. Won’t be anything left to do in 2013…
