Just a few (boring) updates

Pushups - I'm up to 30 a day easily now. I think in the next week or so I'll just go for the 50 all at once.

2nd Marathon - I've been training for the last week and a half since the marathon. I did 10 miles on Saturday and I've already ran twice this week. There's a marathon up in Tomah, WI on Nov. 2nd that I think I'm going to do. I'll bump up my long run this weekend to 18. If that goes well, look out Tomah!

1,000 books to Lilly - Lilly loves when I read her books. I've noticed that I'm ahead of schedule with the # of books I've already read her. I think I'll go a week or so without reading her any books just so I don't get too far ahead. (Obviously, completely kidding...)

Organize the garage - Gretchen and I took care of this a few weeks ago. It was too boring to do an entire post about but I wanted to make sure the world wide web didn't think I was cheating on my goals. I could see one of my loyal readers (probably from a different country) reading through my goals list and noticing that I already organized the garage. Their next thought would be to scroll through and find the post about it and they'd get really suspicious when there was none. Well, here it is.

Learn a new song on piano - I've memorized Scott Joplin's "the Entertainer". I don't have it near as fast as it's supposed to go but I'm working on it. It's a really fun song to play.

Read a classic novel - I'm a quarter of the way through Bram Stoker's "Dracula". I've never read a scary book before and I don't know if I'll do it again. I can only read one chapter at a time because it's so tense. I've never seen a Dracula movie so I never really knew the story. I guess I was picturing the Count from Sesame Street more than this horrible monster that keeps me up at night. It is really interesting, so I know I'll finish it.
