<p><b>New page</b></p><div>New year’s resolutions don’t really do much for me. I’ve tried them before. To resolve to do something is a bit tenuous and vague, only slightly more useful than prayer. Instead, I set five clear, practical goals for myself.<br />
<br />
==Run 1100 miles==<br />
In 2013, I just [[December 24, 2013|made my goal]] to run 1000 miles, so I pushed the finish line a bit further this year. This will be a challenge, particularly if the summer weather is not as nice this year.<br />
<br />
Part of this goal will be to complete [http://www.runningwitheric.com/ Eric Orton]’s training in ''[http://www.runningwitheric.com/page/the-cool-impossible The Cool Impossible]''. This is a five-month program designed to make me a better all-around runner. It’s very regimented and includes strength training specifically for runners. I’ve already done my initial two running tests, so I’ll be starting the actual training this Sunday. I already got my Altra Torins!<br />
<br />
==Run a marathon==<br />
This goal kind of goes with the first, though it’s really separate. My brother Tim and my friend Heather have both run a marathon, and both are reluctant to do it again. They have agreed to run the Savannah Rock ’n’ Roll half with me, but I think 2014 is the year I make the commitment to join the marathon club. This year, it’s scheduled for November 8, so the weather should be nice on the Georgia coast. Besides, Savannah is a cool place to hang out.<br />
<br />
As part of this goal, I want to run an official half marathon by August 15. I have run 13.1 miles before, so this should be a very attainable goal for me. I just have to find a half marathon near the beginning of August — maybe even one right here in Macon.<br />
<br />
==Write for at least an hour every work day==<br />
Currently, I have a textbook project I’m working on that really needs to be finished by the end of this spring semester. An hour a day doesn’t seem like much, but I think it will help me with the most difficult part of writing: getting my butt in the chair to actually do it.<br />
<br />
I used to try to write 750 words a day, but I don’t think that’s appropriate for this goal. I think ''at least an hour each day'' on the book should show me the results I need. I would really like to begin using at least a beta version of my etext to teach with in the fall. Therefore, I have to have a solid working version posted and accessible by August 15, 2014.<br />
<br />
==Complete the “Master” class==<br />
I have completed both the “Basic” and the “First Class” programs of [https://marklauren.com Mark Lauren]’s You Are Your Own Gym app. I’m not quite ready for the “Master” class, yet: I still can’t do the “five pull-ups with a two-second pause at the top and the bottom of the movement.” Ugh. So, currently I have been doing his quick workouts which are also challenging, and practicing my pull-ups. Hopefully, I’ll be able to start the Master class pretty soon.<br />
<br />
Along the same lines, I will incorporate Orton’s strength training and probably pick up Lauren’s new EFX videos, too, though it’s hard to beat the YAYOG app for my daily workouts.<br />
<br />
==Avoid added sugar==<br />
[[December 23, 22013|My weekly diet]] works well for me still: low-carb for six days; anything I want on the seventh — my “cheat day.” This is essentially Tim Ferriss’ slow-carb diet from ''[https://amzn.to/2CX67A1 The 4-Hour Body]''. Still, I think I can do better. I’m going to try two specific things.<br />
<br />
I will avoid all foods that have added sugar. Period. I do read labels, but Eric Orton’s book also has a twenty-day sugar detox. It’s a complete sugar ban except for what is naturally in food.<br />
<br />
Try Ferriss’ “30/30 rule”: consume thirty grams of protein within thirty minutes of waking up. Some have had mixed results with this, but I thought I’d give it a shot. I ordered a month’s worth of [https://www.biotrust.com/Shop.asp?s=&View=Item&Group=&Keyword=fatloss&Product=2409 BioTrust protein supplement]. I have some little areas of fat that I want to get rid of. I know that eating right and exercise are the best things I can do, but I’m always willing to do a bit of experimenting.<br />
<br />
That’s it: short, sweet, attainable, but challenging goals for 2014. Good luck on your own goals. Happy 2014.<br />
