Here's a fairly self-indulgent post. At least it will be brief.... A quick look at the targets for the year and my current situation.
Fitness
The 2 goals were 1/2 Ironman and a marathon. I am way off track on both. However, I beat Jim G again, had some crazy long runs at the gym, and ran the 6 minute mile (repeatedly). Grade: B
Career Part 1
The meat and potatoes of my career is my daily work. It is not going especially well and I don't enjoy it. The people are very nice though and the commute has proven to be less tortuous than I feared. Grade: C
Career Part 2
The extracurricular part of my career is going fantastic. 2 articles now and some nice props from within the organization. And the tech blog is exceeding expectations. Grade: A+
Travel
Two great trips to Memphis and Phoenix... No Europe yet and sadly none likely. Also unlikely to see "home" until the holidays. There is always a hope that the first marathon will be back home in October. Grade: B
Piano
I am ashamed. I haven't played since March. Ugh. I get in this mode where I go off the rails and can't bear the pain of hearing how much I've degraded. It eats at me day after day. Grade: F
Vehicle
I traded in Herbie before he blew up, and got a fun, functional ride. Very happy with Rowdy. Grade: A
And so there you have it... I never had letter grades in school: do you average 'em? Never had a GPA either... so to mix metaphors, I would say '07 gets 80% so far.

Have I told you yet how impressed I am about the marathon goal? I've been trying to work myself up to it (you know, like if corny Diddy can run the city, I can too) and so far, no dice. So seriously, congrats on keeping your eye on the prize.
Merci, KK....
I haven't felt like I've had my eye on the prize lately but a fantastic result at a sprint triathlon as buoyed my spirits. Plus I had a fan base in attendance, which is rare indeed.
