Resolutions

In an effort to avoid inevitable failure and disappointment heighten my sense of well being, I’ve focused my ’09 resolutions on process, instead of outcome. In other words, I will be resolving to do four decent long runs in preparation for a half marathon, not to best my half marathon p.r. (Although, if that happened after about nine attempts, I wouldn’t mind.)

So, for the sake of accountability, here’s my attempt at positive thinking:

Swim 200 fly nonstop (starting at 100, add 25 yards per season)
Do a half-Ironman triathlon
Train 4.5 hours per week
Improve bike efficiency
Swim once/week
Organize an indoor bike session
Do a swim race
Swim across Lake Hubert
Go to one of Lauren’s 5-hour spin classes (at least most of it!)
Take preschooler rock climbing
Do Luminary Loppet (with kids) and one of the Sunday races (without kids)
Reduce car trips by 100
