These are all great. Let's hear some more.

In 2011 we adopted an abused horse (he stayed in the neighbor's barn). We'd like to do that again.

my goal is to run a marathon in under 3 hours this year.

Jiesen, That's an impressive goal. My son was a cross country runner then worked up from 5K to 10K to half marathons. Then he ran the Columbus marathon in maybe 3:43 and he couldn't raise his legs to get into the car. Took a few days to recover. He said the last 3 miles were torture. Good thing was they had a giant screen at the finish that flashed time and name with live shot of runner. For some reason there was no crowd at that minute so he had the 12 foot screen to himself.

My goal is to practice (as opposed to just playing) my guitar at least 30 minutes every day.

As for those 20 lbs, I did P90X this year and lost 20 lbs in 3 mos. I couldn't do everything, but just doing what I could worked. I went from 205 to 185.

I keep busy trying to meet several goals each year. The problem is I'm increasing the number of goals each year. Maybe my goal should be to limit the number of goals this year .

Here are some 2012-swim 150 miles--result 163.601 miles
-----------------------recycle 5000 cans--only hit 4332

-----------------------find 700 silver dimes, 300 halfs--718 dimes, 314 halfs

-----------------------find $100 walking dog & metal detector-$102.73 found

----------------------beat last years raspberry total--did it 59.95 quarts

----------------------sell $300 of excess tomatoes---sold $311.44 at self serve stand

---------------------save copper cents for granddaughter's education fund--$719 so far

For 2013 the big goal that so far has been unattainable-----lose at least 20 pounds.

2013----beat S&P 500 by 5%

Anyone else have goals for the new year?
