This week’s summary is short since some of my goals are long-term and aren’t going to get updated as regularly.
1. Complete 500 miles by running/walking/elliptical this year.
I completed 3.19 miles this week on the elliptical. I’m supposed to be averaging a little over 9 miles a week. Definitely going to have to make up mileage once I can start running again. I wish I could track my mileage in spin class, but my distance is just an arbitrary guess based on exertion and how far I’ve seen others in the class estimating.
4. Read 15 books.
This week I’ve finished “The Hunger Games” and “Catching Fire”. Amazing books and I definitely recommend them. I’m starting the third/final one tonight. (Get the trilogy on Amazon for $31. [affiliate link]) I started “Catching Fire” on Friday night and finished this afternoon. I don’t think I’ve done that much reading in one weekend in a really long time. I’m really enjoying this goal since I used to read like crazy and then slowed way down. If you have any book recommendations in any category post them in the comments.
5. Hand-write all of Proverbs.
Still going strong on this one. I forgot my Moleskine notebook this weekend and had to use a notepad at the Holiday Inn.
7. Become debt free.
I’ll be paying off the third-to-last student loan this week. In fact, I’ll be making the payment the day I’m going to see Dave Ramsey live at “Total Money Makeover” event in Atlanta. It’s great timing. I ran some numbers again this week for my debt snowball. One projection has me finishing in November. Another has me finishing as soon as August. If I can pick up several more freelance gigs doing ProPresenter training at churches between now and then I may be able to move that up as far as June or July, or sooner. I can’t wait to cross this goal off my list. And to never have to put it back on a list.
