A-doo-run-run-run, A-doo-run-run

Last year I made a list of 100 some-odd things to accomplish in the year 2006. In retrospect, I actually did a pretty good job of accomplishing those goals. I think I managed about 75% of them. I believe 100 was a little overkill, so this year I'm going to do 33. Thirty-three is pretty significant because it is the most balanced number in numerology and is also noted as being the most complete number. Jesus didn't begin his teachings until he was 33 either, so that's my number for 2007.

My one unoriginal plan is basically inspired my my sister's accomplishments and my boyfriend's goal of RUNNING. I'm kind of scared of it though because I hear so many horror stories about how people injure themselves and regret it later in life. Yet, also there are the people who have run all there life and are in great shape until a very old age. What's true about those people is they are also pretty small in stature. I am not. I'm tall, big boned, busty and curvy. Is running really going to be the best thing for my bones? One thing I know is that I'm going to have to start taking a calcium pill because I don't eat much dairy - no milk! - and I'm a woman so I need to worry about those things. All in all, I'm going to try it. I bought myself a Nike+ and an iPod and I'm going to get my money's worth. I do not want to delve into the extreme like Josh; there is no way I can run 100 miles by October while working full time and taking a large class load. I do have to work out some kind of plan for myself though... I'll post it when I figure it out. So here goes something - I'm going to be a runner.

I never said anything about a challenge. If you want a competition, you win.

Weird, I made my new list in Dec. I couldnt think after 33 and quit on 34, I would aim a bit lower this year. Still though, they are just as out there as last year.
