Monetary Goals:
I just crossed the 1k mark on both my short term savings and my emergency fund thanks to my tax refund. I’m gonna have to make use of that savings fund over the summer doing something interesting. By the end of April I will have been to Brussels and Cancun both for close to free so I don’t even know what else to get myself too.
Fitness Goals:
I ran a sub 26min 5k. My goal is sub 25min but this is a good step on the way. So far I’m working on an 8min pace but I tend to need a quick walk at the 1.5 and 2.5 mile mark.
I haven’t been up on my weight lifting though I do mean to get back into that. I’m thinking it will be more appealing to get to the gym when I can do my running outside instead of inside at the gym. 5 days a week at the gym is just no fun, It would be much better if I could do 2-3 days and the other days just run close to home outside.
Spiritual Goals:
I was getting there on the meditation thing but its hard to keep up, particularly when there is this fight for time between meditation and exercise. My hope is that the weekday evenings calm down after this past week of dress rehearsals and this weekends concerts so that I can get to bed earlier, get up earlier, and pack everything into the morning. Getting over this illness that was killing me the early part of this week should help as well.
Photography Goals:
This is really down on the list of priorities but I did take an hour or two last weekend and got through all of my pictures up to and including Cornell. I was even able to start posting the art photos I came across up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bdarfler. There is still a lot to go through starting with Europe ‘06 but I’ll get there. I was able to take some pretty solid pictures last night before and after the concert including probably the best candid portrait I’ve done yet, just capturing that perfect moment.
