I posted my first draft of my goals. Look to the left for the Page tab. I have been thinking about them for a few weeks. I will add to them as the next few weeks progress. The main focus is the Long term goals. Sobriety is my main focus but if I don't have something else to hold my attention then I will be easily swayed. The next on my Long term list is the Goofy Challenge. I have been wanting to run a marathon at Disneyland for a while. It always seems crazy to spend that much money until I came across the Goofy Challenge. It's a Half on Saturday and then a Full Marathon on Sunday. This is worth every penny. The next and probably more challenging will be to run leg five of Hood to Coast. For the past few years I have been holding out doing easier runs. I am the slowest on the team so it's been easy to do this. Well this year I want to train for leg 5. If you don't know what that is, here is a link and you can see leg 5 is a monster and not a leg most want to run.

You actually want to look at leg 5, 17, and 29 I will have to run all three.
The last but key ingredient for a successful year will be to loose 20 pounds. I haven't determined how I'm going to go about this. Looking at my goal chart it would seem this should naturally happen but I have been living with this weight for years and managed to squeak my way through 3 marathons and countless Half marathons. I know it is most definitely Alcohol related. Cutting out drinking I should save about 750 calories a day.
You are probably asking yourself how the hell have you been able to do all these things and drink 750 calories worth of Alcohol a night. Well not very well and certainly not lately. Which is why my Social friend needs to go away. Once we get past the Game Plan stage I'm sure I will touch base on how I have managed to get to this point in my life. Until then just understand that I have been drinking for a long time. I am a master at. I just don't want that at the top of my list of what I do anymore.
