lists for the new year #3

things I hope to acomplish in 2011

start teaching again

set a new half-marathon PR: 2:30

run 3 races (and maybe a triathalon again)

reconnect with old friends, this being my fourtieth year

save more, spend less.  learn to live a simpler life

travel overseas

learn how to sew confidently

craft more...with molly

run more...with carson

the thing I love about this list is that many of these things are already in motion.  they are things I have been thinking on and planning for for a while now, and committing to getting them done has pushed me to start.
