Looking Back.

Exactly one year ago, I said I would....

  • Read more. Yes
  • Sleep more. Yes
  • Sleep earlier. Yes, through August
  • Wake earlier. Ditto, through August
  • Eat more green. Eh...
  • Eat less white. Still trying to kiss wheat goodbye...making progress.
  • Run hills. Sort of.
  • Ride hills. Definitely --> One of the best days of 2012.
  • Swim a lot. It's all relative.
  • Run even more. Satisfied with where I am and where I'm going.
  • Travel smartly. Doubtful.
  • See the sunrise on Table Mountain. YES!
  • See the sunset on Victoria Falls. Sadly, I think I let this slip through my fingers.
  • Climb a bridge. YES!
  • Work hard. In oh so many ways.
  • Become an Ironman. Check!
  • Be. Indeed
 
In a very strange and almost scary way, this list perfectly manages to encompass and capture my year, from beginning to end. I smiled my way to the finish line of my first Ironman, said goodbye to a comfortable job and hello to a new professional challenge, made amazing new friends while maintaining and strengthening old relationships. I hope I became a better partner to my other half and am excited for our immediate future together as it continues to evolve and grow for the better.
