2.  Run a full marathon. Still need create new fitness goals.  I’m struggling to find motivation post-marathon.

3.  Climb a 14,000′ Mountain. Although I hate to give up on any of my plans this year, I don’t see this as a financial possibility in 2010.

4.  Visit somewhere I’ve never been. See numero 3.

5.  Find a full-time job. Got an interview coming up!

10. Share my faith regularly. Had a cool convo tonight actually.  I’m praying for more boldness in this category.

11. Begin leading and/or hosting a regular gathering for skeptics and Christians to study the Bible. Not there yet. More prayer needed, and less timidity.
