Here goes. 1. Done. I've been taking it fairly easy since 11/10/12 (marathon). I keep saying I will "be more serious" but that hasn't taken effect. 2. No dessert?!? 3. I leave the planning to the RC, but I have a rough plan...races filled in mostly all the way until end of April. I, however, do not go to the weight room. I should I just don't. Probably bc I don't have a strict plan and I'm basically just a trained monkey. Give me a plan, I do it. No plan, I watch TV. Or study. Or whatever. 4 and 5. Done - easy! 6. So, does this apply to diet coke and vitamin water zero? 7 and 8. Done -- most of the time when schedules line up! And when in NYC. [no running buddies at home] 9. Unfortunately, done, to the dismay of my bank account. 10. Don't be too hard on yourself? What? I never do that. Ever. :) Well, since July, I'd say I've been a little better at being more flexible... Great post. A different take on the usual "set new goals" blah blah blah stuff. Because I love myself a list and this post speaks to my inner organizer, I will respond in list form to your list.

1. Done. I’ve been taking it fairly easy since 11/10/12 (marathon). I keep saying I will “be more serious” but that hasn’t taken effect.

2. No dessert?!?

3. I leave the planning to the RC, but I have a rough plan…races filled in mostly all the way until end of April. I, however, do not go to the weight room. I should I just don’t.

4 and 5. Done – easy!

6. So, does this apply to diet coke and vitamin water zero?

7 and 8. Done — most of the time when schedules line up! And when in NYC. [no running buddies at home]

9. Unfortunately, done, to the dismay of my bank account.

10. Don’t be too hard on yourself? What? I never do that. Ever. :) Well, since July, I’d say I’ve been a little better at being more flexible…

Great post. A different take on the usual “set new goals” blah blah blah stuff.

My understanding is that you still have a crack at the A standard either in Victoria or Calgary. By the way I'm no longer at KLV and am writing as a fan (big fan) and as always want to wish you success! Hey Malindi,
