*edited 1-21-06. upon realizing I had two number 8's, I removed "run one eight-minute mile" from my list and renumbered. I chose to remove that item because it seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'm not really a runner, and speed isn't actually that important to me. I'll keep you posted on how fast I'm running when I get back into it though.

  • Becky,

    Josie's list inspired me to write a list, which I did yesterday. So you indirectly played a role in my goal-setting. I love your list- and I'm going to steal the stick-shift car goal and add it to my list. That is a great one! Thanks for the good ideas!

  • Becky,
    I'm a volunteer for Suited for Change--we'd love to have you on board! Our big event is May 16 at the City Museum--if you'd like to volunteer for that (or just come--it's going to be fabulous!), just email me at rsvp@suitedforchange.org.

    Good luck with the list!
