New Year

It's probably not completely kosher to start on a New Year's Resolution a month before the new year, but I refuse to live by your rules. My NYR for this year is to get a perfect score on the USMCPFT. This is a lofty goal, one which I realistically don't have much confidence that I'll meet, but if nothing else it will serve as tunnel-light, a signpost way off in the distance.

Normally I don't even set NYRs since I never manage to accomplish them. Last year I had planned to drink less but, as Bookowl recently tumbled out, that ended in a Tragic Failure. On the bright side, after the official project/resolution was laid to bed, its spirit was carried on throughout most of the latter half of the year.

There may also be a second PFT-related NYR coming up. Los wants to run a marathon next autumn, specifically (if I remember correctly) the Boston marathon. As a tangent from the main USMCPFT NYR, training for and running in a marathon is looking pretty good right now.
