Resolutions

Happy New Year!  I was thinking about resolutions and goal setting for the year.  Here are the top three things I want to accomplish this year:

1. Run a Marathon

“But, Jason, you’ve already signed up for a marathon.”  I know, but as Morpheus taught us, “There’s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”  We all know I registered myself to run the Rock & Roll USA Marathon on Saturday, March 16, 2013 in Washington, D.C.  However, I’ve only registered so far.  I haven’t run a marathon yet. So, I can’t check it off my bucket list until I’ve actually done it.

2. Play “Big Boy” Ultimate

I miss playing ultimate.  It’s not just the sport itself I miss.  I miss playing for a team.  I don’t mean the random groups of people I get (more or less) assigned to play with in rec. leagues.  I mean a real team with real camaraderie and who conduct practices and travel to tournaments.  I have a few teams in mind I want to try out for this year.  I don’t know if I’ll end up playing professional ultimate or traditional club ultimate, but I do intend to play.

3. Travel to a Foreign Country

I’ve never been overseas.  In fact, I’ve spent very little time in places that weren’t on the east coast of the U.S.  I think this should be the year I finally get myself a passport and go somewhere new.  I’m not necessarily thinking of running any races in other countries.  I’m sure that would be a really cool way to see some sites, though.  A lot of big races tend to showcase some of the more popular/famous landmarks in each respective city.  I’ve always wanted to visit Italy.  I’ve also been growing a desire to tour Greece recently.  Yeah, I think I’m going to try to go someplace this year.  I deserve it, right?  Any suggestions?

So there you have it.  These are my top three goals for 2013.  What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
