I started this project on August 12, 2008 and I hope to have it finished by May 1, 2011. I have 62 out of 101 goals completed and the biggest surprise (by far!) was discovering how much I really enjoy running marathons. When I put my original goal list together, I had never run a marathon. In the 16 months since, I've run 10.
As you can see from my progress below, I have plenty to do but I'm very excited about the next year and hope to make a good run and (no jinx please) maybe finish early.
Happy New Year!
