How I did it
How to learn to snowboard
It took me
2 days
It made me
pumped!

How I did it: i'm calling this goal done since we've moved off the bunny slope onto the green trails on the mountain.  we've been prep'ing for snowboarding since this summer by buying gear, buying a season pass, watching videos, and generally learning as much as we could about it.we went last weekend and took a 2hr private lesson.  spent the rest of the day hitting the tiny bunny slope.  went back this saturday for day 2 of boarding.&nbs… Read how I did it…

How to dump my iphone
It took me
14 days
It made me

How I did it: i got really tired of being a slave to my iphone, a device i've come to loathe for its scenestery-ness and inability to functional properly for me.  i got really tired of being a slave to a contract and pawn of apple.  i wanted more freedom in my plan and to pay much less. i researched online, went to a sprint store to check out the phone, and then found it at bestbuy for lowest price.

How to pay off my car
It took me
6 months
It made me

How I did it: i had a reasonable payment every month, but I still saved up a lot over the past 6 mos, so that i could pay my 48 mo loan off early, in less than 2 years.  could have probably paid it off even earlier if i hadn't gotten into motorcycles and bought a scooter and riding gear.

Run 3.1miles. Check.

Now to keep up the running and get back into road cycling (might be doing this mostly indoors with the trainer due to winter weather) and get to the pool!

I did end up getting a road bike. I got a beautiful used, but loved, LeMond Zurich road bike and clipless pedals and shoes. I love it, it’s a gorgeous bike, so that’s definitely a motivator to ride it :).

Do the Couch to 5k running plan (read all 23 entries…)
After multiple attempts at this...

I finally completed this in 2 months. This has been in and out of my goals list for a while. I finally stuck to it and very grateful I did. It really sucked at the beginning, but it gets easier. I am up to running 40 minutes/4miles now. I am hoping to continue to work towards a 10k and half marathon run next.

Do the Couch to 5k running plan (read all 23 entries…)
First week.

I started my first week, but I actually started w/ the week 3 program since I have been working out for a couple weeks and felt up to the workout.

I also got new minimalist running shoes (Brooks PureConnect) since I’m pretty fascinated with the less is more philosophy of minimalist running. I’m liking them so far- landing midfoot instead of on the heels and the shoes feel like i’m landing on little clouds.
