Watcha got?

As for me:

Stay injury free
Eat healthier
Keep increasing the mileage
Be patient as my son gets deeper into the toddler years (he'll be 2 years old in 4 months!!!)
Get him to count numbers and actually talk words instead of bark, howl, monkey, growl, grunt and other strange languages of baby talk
Enjoy life and try not to worry so much.

Learn to cook better, and more varied meals

Spend more time with DS and try to understand him better

Talk less about running to SO

And more than anything else: love and enjoy my first granddaughter

Your post reminds me of this quote.

And I don't know if you've ever told us.....What kind of fan are you?? Red? White? Pink?

I like whites more than reds, though I know reds are better for you. I like pinks most of all, but the real wine heads I know make fun of it. I could drink Sutter Home White Zin (pink) pretty much the rest of my life & have no qualms. But I know folks who won't accept anything lighter than a cabernet (some of which tastes like varnish to me).

What say ye?

Ambitious. Good luck my friend.

I typically don't make resolutions. But I need to get more sleep at night so maybe I'll try that. And when that fails maybe I'll try breaking Baboon's world marathon record.
