To Infinity and Beyond!

I think a big part of getting anywhere in life is to have goals.  Without goals, where are you heading?  I am big on lists, so it just seems natural to make a list of goals, right?  Recently I was cleaning out some paperwork and found a list of goals dated 8/5/10, so roughly 16 months ago.  Of those 20 goals, I have not achieved any of them.  I am making progress towards all of them, but I have not actually completed any of them.  Maybe putting all of these out there for the masses to view will help with some motivation to cross some of these off of the list!

1. Weight sub 170 (well, I made this one briefly)
2. Run a sub 1:45 1/2 marathon
3. Run a sub 1:30 1/2 marathon
4. Run a sub 4 marathon
5. Run a sub 3:30 marathon
6.  Run a sub 3 marathon
7. Run a sub 5 70.3
8. Run a sub 4:40 70.3
9. Run a sub 4:30 70.3
10. Average 24+ mph in a 70.3
11. Run a sub 45 10k
12. Run a sub 40 10k
13. Run a sub 20 5k
14. Run a sub 19 5k
15. Run a sub 18 5k
16. Run a sub 6 min mile
17. Run a sub 5:30 min mile
18. Run a sub 5 min mile
19. Sub 32 min 1/2 iron swim (I didn't have any swim goals on the original list.  I just added all of these)
20. Sub 30 min 1/2 iron swim
21. Sub 28 min 1/2 iron swim
22. Sub 1:05 ironman swim
23. Sub 1 hour ironman swim
24. Sub 55 min ironman swim
25. Sub 11 hour ironman
26. Sub 10 hour ironman
27. Sub 9 hour ironman
28. Win a race over all
29. Go pro in triathlon

Well, there you go.  There are some fairly easy goals on there and there are some extremely lofty goals on there.  It's time to make these dreams a reality.
