My New Years Resolutions For 2008

Jan 2 at 8:08pm by Andrew Benton

So, new year, everyone has their resolutions, here are mine:

250 Subscribers
I would really love to get up to at least 250 subscribers to this site. That’s why I’m going to focus more time to this blog, and give the masses what they want; great content, a good message, and understandable. I’d also like to shoot for 400 on my other site, which is growing more quickly it seems than this blog.

Develop More Blogs
So I already have this one and That Single Guy, which is taking off quickly. I’d really like to start some more, and devote more time to writing, as I really do enjoy it. I think any new projects would be unique and let me experiment with my writing style and imagination…

Run a Half-Marathon
Ever since I enlisted in the Army, I’ve been an avid runner. The feeling you get after a long, hard run is unrivaled. I ran my first 5K in early December, and plan to run many more 5 and 10K races in 2008. My real goal is to run a half-marathon without stopping once.

Gain 15 Pounds
Yes, you read that correctly, I want to gain weight, but not fat. I’ve been lifting heavily for the past year and a half, and before I left for the Army, was up to about 190-192. The Army life really took a toll on my body, and I’m back down to about 184-5. I would like to get up to 200lbs, while lowering my body fat and looking better. The half-marathon training will help with this.

With that said, I’ll probably add more to this list, who know what 2008 can hold for me? I hope you all enjoy the ride, and even maybe make it a better year. Happy New Year to everyone, and best of luck on this new year.
