http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX-n1VeASW4 New year, new challenge, new resolve! I'm Shukar, I'm a nerd in my 20s and run because I enjoy it. This is something like my 12th challenge at Nerd Fitness, and I stick with it here because I really love the community this place creates and I love being here. I've been struggling recently with getting goals consistently executed, and that makes me sad. I'm gonna adjust some of my goal setting to try and help with that. Gradual progress toward my long term goals always seems to work out best, but the trick is making sure I still make that gradual progress. Goal #1: Run! Run the 10k and Half Marathon at the Tinkerbell Weekend at Disney Prize! Shiny shiny bling from the fine people at Disney. How: Run at least twice a week. Short run: Weeks 1 & 2: 2 miles. Weeks 3-6: 3 miles. Long runs: 6 Miles Day 0 9 Miles Week 1 Race Week 2 4T Week 3 6 Miles Week 4 6 Miles Week 5 8 Miles Week 6 Races: 10k on 1/18 and Half-Marathon on 1/19. Bonus: I might even get to go for a run with some nerds at 4T in late January! Goal #2: Eat! If I’m to eat food, it should be good food. Prize! Delicious foods! How: Make better food. Plan out the week’s meals each week Procure the supplies to produce the planned meals Make at least 2 dinners from the plan each week. Exceptions: Race weekend and TTTT. Goal #3: Manly! What more manly hobby is there than putting cold steel to ones flesh? Prize! Awesomely manly shaves. How: Finish up the remaining blades from my sampler Shave 1-2x each week Compare the results from shaving with soap vs. cream but using the same blades Crunch the numbers of the blade testing and determine which blade has gotten me the best results Exceptions: TTTT, no razor blades on the plane means no shaves in Texas for me. No Exceptions on this one, Bigm offered me a blade to use from his supply so that I wouldn't have to go without.
