Happy New Year! Time for the annual ritual of looking forward to the 2008 running season. Only this time, I am gonna kick it up a notch so here goes…

Goal #1 – achieve more than 4 PRs. Those certificates look mighty pretty on my wall and besides, its the only incentive to goal #2.
Goal #2 – break the 21 minute mark. Breaking the 22 minute mark was easy, staying under it was a whole other matter. See goal #3.
Goal #3 – lose weight. I surely hope Queen Di has a special reward but according to her and Tony, I’ll be much faster if I get down to 180 lbs. Um…the last time I weighed that, I think I was my 20s maybe teens. Realistically, I am going to shoot for 190. And I won’t tell you how much I need to lose to get there.
Goal #4 – enshrine Aunt Gregarious and Uncle Herman as the newest members of the Dead Rabbits Club. Yo Tony, Darlene, Tom….wanna help!!??
Goal #5 – complete a distance greater than 10k. The Fleet Feet 15k didn’t count last year…not when you beat someone old enough to be your grandfather by 1 second!
Goal #6 – help Steph achieve AT LEAST 1 lifetime PR. I said that last year. In fact, it was the only 2007 goal that wasn’t achieve. I’ll cut her some slack since she a wimin….and my wife.

Enough said? And don’t forget, THE WHOLE WORLD COMES TO BUFFALO to watch Sammy run!
