I'm starting a 30 days challenge: the first one (30 days without alcohol). Non-alcohol beer is allowed.

For the first health goal see my battle log (today I start tracking every single meal).

I'm thinking on the fitness goals, I'm not sure if I want to start with strength goals or with an endurance goal.

The personal goal I'm going to start with is the two examinations: music and library assistant. I'll post on my battle log my advances.

Hey, Daggart! I saw your epic quest link in your signature. Awesome goals and you've achieved some big ones already! What part of Spain are you from? My main classical guitar teacher was from Malaga, and my flamenco teacher studied in Sevilla.

 

I see you want to bike Route 66 in the USA. I used to work as a firefighter and EMT along the stretch of it that runs between Flagstaff and Williams, Arizona. The Grand Canyon is not far from there and is really worth seeing. Prepare for major elevation changes, though, as it is around 7,000 feet (not sure what that is in meters) in that area. Beautiful country with lots of pine trees.

 

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I have to re-design the goals, but I achieved this morning one of them: running 5 km in less than 30' (I did it in 29').

 

By the way, Lt_Laurel, I'm from Alicante, but my ex girlfriend is from Malaga. It's a nice city.
