Goals for 2012, Looking Up

I have to say that I stole Up from another blog. It was just so good and it applied to what I wanted from this new year. It was a hard year and I had some awful things happen, but I also had some really great things happen. So, I want to look up for 2012 whether it's part of my professional or personal life. With that, I have some goals for this year (screw resolutions) even though some are not exercise related:

• Run a marathon (unless injury happens) possibly in November or December.
• Organize my personal life, including getting a new file cabinet and really fixing it up where I have my documents in one spot.
• Organize my professional life, because I have gotten lazy with document organization. I managed to organize my own folders on my computer, but not the company folders like I'm suppose to be doing.
• Make it to 2013 without an injury, PLEASE. Although, I am having a scope done on my ankle putting me out for a max 6 weeks, but that's an old injury.
• Make it to 2013 without losing a camera or other tool.
• Start my new Houston blog and really get it out there.
• Post my running blog everywhere instead of just to my family and friends.
• Run in the El Chupacabra race (hopefully with Sara and Kris).
• Join the Houston Hash (hopefully this Sunday with Sara and Kris).
• Drink all 200 beers at the Flying Saucer and get my plate.
• Pick up learning Spanish again.
• Travel somewhere new internationally. I'm so thankful for going to England (twice), because I learned to travel on my own and I met a special someone who also helped me check Ireland off my list of places to visit.
• Travel somewhere new domestically. My grandmother has wanted forever to go to Mt. Rushmore and this year, we are going to make that happen.
• Hike a bigger mountain with Ashley either in Colorado or in California, putting our books to good use.
• Kayak with Haley in Seabrook using the groupon deals, because they expire in February.
• See Hiroko's new baby girl, Emma. I see a pattern of going to California alot this year.
• Realize that I'm not at the dropzone and I can't just be dumping the f bomb anywhere I go now.
• Go back to the racetrack and get Franz up to high speeds.
• Learn to make a sushi roll.
• Learn to drink and possibly like wine. Yes, this was a big one for me and one I bragged about alot.

Does anybody have any goals for this year?

I will like to add that I have done three runs at Hermann Park with Remington. Most of them were good and I did the full loop at roughly 2 miles. However, my new ipod thinks it's almost 3 miles. I calibrated it finally and hopefully, that will fix the issue. They weren't the greatest of runs, because I have to stop for Remi, but I was out there running. And I'm a walrus right now. I need all the help I can get.

I have to mention one run, because I was given a compliment. I just got done picking up Remi's poop and this guy was yelling at me. He flagged me down and came over to thank me for cleaning up after my dog. He was so appreciative and I felt happy that a stranger noticed.
