Looks Great. I'm so proud of you. :)
Good job Matt! I had to come see your blog after I read your status. Oh...you crack me up! I'm gonna need a little more color, decor or pictures if I'm gonna keep reading this blog though...LOL:)
nice goals -- well I actually didn't read them all, got to about #9 or so. You may have a good idea going here though
I read them all now - Nice work and it is quite a goal - It comes out to completing one goad every 10 days, GOOD LUCK, if anyone can do it it is you!
Matt this is soo cool! Good Luck on it! I may have to do something of the sort! Good inspiration for getting things done!
i think this is great, and wish you luck. im very impressed by the motivation, and your ability to stick to something. thats a good trait in a person.
I stumbled upon your blog using the "next" button. I love this idea, and I love that you are a marathon runner! I noticed California is on your list... when you get to that goal and need any local info, let me know, blogger to blogger!
Good luck meeting all your goals, you are well on your way!
