New Year's Resolutions Recap for 2010

There were seven goals for self-improvement I posted on December 31, 2009 to achieve in 2010.  This is a recap of how I did.

1. Decide whether to say "Two Thousand Ten" or Twenty Ten." I'm sort of leaning toward Twenty Ten.  -- I achieved this one.  I say Two Thousand Ten.

2. Read 30 Books.  - FAIL -- I don't know how many books I read this year, but it was far short of 30.  

3. Run to Florida -- Not an actual run to FL, but running the distance to Punta Gorda, FL, from DC (about 1,000 miles).  - FAIL -- Actually, I did run about 750 miles during the year, which puts me well into Florida, but still about 250 miles away from Punta Gorda.  I got a cold during Thanksgiving and haven't been running regularly since.

4. Weigh less than 165 lbs.  - FAIL -- I was in the low 170s prior to Thanksgiving, but I've fallen off the exercise wagon and been eating badly. I was 184 last I checked.  

5. Run two marathons.  - FAIL -- I did run two 10-Milers this year, but no marathons.

6. Get more than 100 Followers on my blog. - FAIL -- Still at less than 100 followers.  I started the year with 10 followers and have 91 at last check.

7. Save money. - FAIL -- I've have saved some, but not nearly enough.


If you are keeping track, the only one I actually achieved during the year is #1, which was hard to not achieve.  Oh well, there is always next year.
