New Years Resolutions Revised

So after a few weeks to think about it, I'm revising my New Year's Resolutions. Revising them to be a little more specific. Dropping one or two. Adding a couple more.

1) Learn a foreign language.

I've settled on Latin American Spanish. I think it will serve me well in future vacations I hope to be lucky enough to take. I thought about French, but ultimately thought that Spanish would prove more useful. Who knows though, maybe I'll find time to do both? Doubtful.

2) Run a 5K in under 20 minutes.

This is incredibly ambitious for me. But I ran one last year unprepared in the 23 minute area (I don't remember the exact time), and ran a 10k while training for the Twin Cities Marathon in 46:30. This makes me think that it's at least possible, if I train for it. I'm putting this goal in place of running another marathon. Just looking for a change. I'm not ruling out another marathon, however ;)

3) Post at least once a week to millcitysnap.com.

I need to get some creativity back. I need to get back to my long lost hobby of photography. That is why I set that site up. Now I need to actually use it. I might try Project 365. Haven't decided yet (Thanks for the idea, Paul).

4) Start a tech blog.

No description at this time. More to follow, probably next week.


So I'm dropping the marathon resolution -- kind of. I replaced it with another running one. So I'm not counting it as "dropped". I also dropped the musical instrument one. I really want to learn to play something again. But there's only so many hours in the week, and I need to pick a hobby. So for now, I'm settling on learning Spanish and getting back to photography.

Pictures From Cancun Are Posted

Back From Puerto Vallarta

Made it back safely from a great trip to Puerto Vallarta. I will hopefully post some write ups about it shortly, but in the meantime, here's some pictures. As of right now, these are only from my phone, as I didn't have a camera along on the trip. Hopefully, I'll mooch some photos off of those who did a little later this week.

New Years Resolutions

1) Learn to play guitar or piano (again, or, again).

2) Run third and hopefully fourth marathons.

3) Finally see Wicked (in Chicago or New York City).

4) Blog more ;)
