[toy4xchris]

Not a ressolution thread but what are you looking forward to?

I'll go first

1. Becoming a father, my wife and I are expecting our 1st kid a little boy around the end of Feb.

2. Getting my bachelor's degree should be graduating around Sept.

3. Hoping to get myself into the right financial position to buy a house.

This is a great idea for a thread. I think my main two goals this year are:

1. Moving out of NC and heading west.

2. Getting a higher management position or a career in Architecture.

Those are my main two goals with addition to some smaller but just as important things like:

3. Hitting 150k on my baby

4. Getting some larger wheels and/or small lift to improve ride quality and sagging.

I'd also like to add that I'm looking forward to NOT doing an Ironman this year. I've lived in Colorado for a little over 2 years now, both spring/summers I've lived here have been spent training for Ironmans. To give you an idea monday was the one lazy/rest day a week. Tuesday was swim before work and bike after work, Wednesday was run and lower body weights, Thursday was swim before work and bike after work, Friday was run and upper body weights, Saturday was long bike rides (up to 100 miles) and a short brick run (change your shoes, drop your helmet and immediately take off running from the bike), Sunday was long run (up to 20 miles) and long swim (up to 3 miles). That was the routine every single week for about 6 months leading up to race day. I'm excited to not do that this year. I'm going spend more time than I ever have riding dirt (mountain bike), I'm not going to do any triathlons longer than a Olympic distance, I'm going to camp more, I'm going to spend more time exploring this ridiculously amazing state I relocated to.

I'm kinda relieved that the Boulder 70.3 Ironman just sold out recently, I've been fighting the urge to sign up (it's only a half Ironman, 70.3 miles instead of 140.6) and it's kinda bittersweet that now I can't do it for 2015.

Looking forward to:

* Hopefully getting promoted (advancement cycle is in April)

* New iPhone in March

* Continuing GYM dedication. It's been about 5 months now of GYM 4 days a week at a min. My biggest setback during that time was injury due to sprained rotator cuff then over extending my elbow. I guess 30 isn't exactly 20 when it comes to ligaments.

* Continue eating healthy. I'm not a purist or anything but I almost never drink soda (rare Crown and coke), don't eat fast food except at a max once a month at a hamburger joint like The Habbit, don't eat JUNK food like chips or candy period, and in general I try to cook veggies and meats at home as much as possible vs. going out.

* More camping and outdoors trips, at least 1 good 3-4 day backpacking trip

* Save money up for a house. In CA this is a really big thing because houses are so expensive. Also since I'm trying to max out my 401k and Roth IRA at the limit that takes away nearly all my extra money except what I set aside for occasional fun. But yeah I need to crack down on the spending.

* Spend more time mountain biking!
