2012 – Looking back
12 years ago
Well it’s the end of the year. Looking back at how the year has gone I try and reflect on the big things I did and what I achieved, as well as what I’d like to do.
- 2011 New Year’s Resolution - Success! Joined a gym like I said I would at the beginning of the year. Lost 17 pounds so far and successfully kept it off. Picked up a pair of Vibram five fingers and I love them. With them I can run further and faster for a longer period of time without fatiguing so fast. Fastest mile time for 2012 was 8:14, and my fastest 5 km run was 29:43. Longest run without stopping was 4.26 miles in 40 minutes. I know I can do better, I just have to keep exercising and eating right.
- Played around with pastels more and finished a few paintings, just some simple images of flowers and landscape stuff as practice. I framed a few and gave them away as gifts to peoples at my job who were interested.
- Joined FA! And went to my first fur-meet ever in October. Was great fun :D
And… well other than that, a lot of nothing. Just making sure I kept my job, reading software development books, playing around with coding ideas, did late night support calls for a bit, work work work. I’m boring! 8D
2013 New Year Resolutions!
Gym - Lose 10-15 more pounds, beat 8 minutes in a mile run, and attempt a sustained run for 5 continuous miles.
Pastels - Attempt a few pastel landscapes on my plein-air easel, maybe in Elizabeth Park :)
FA stuff - Maybe poke my head into a con if one pops up nearby. Also make an attempt to not let my job bog down my paintings. I make too many doodles and sketches, and I need to start seeing more of them through all the way to a finished piece.
Try and do more stuff other than work related things in my spare time. There’s better stuff I could be doing.
Misc – Sounds weird, but as long as I've remembered I've always wanted to join a karting club. Like, professional karting, where the kart can go up to 85 MPH unrestricted. I want to find a place somewhere nearby and do it.
Yay for year-end reflection!
