Well, one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to start running, so here’s hoping!
I don’t think there’s anything in particular wrong with New Year’s Resolutions — they are what you make of them. I think like most goals they tend to be too vague to ever really achieve, but if you set good, exact, distinct NYRs and have a real plan to accomplish them, you will.
i make resolutions every year, and i’ve actually accomplished many of them–such as getting a 2nd masters degree, and running a marathon, and learning a foreign language.
maybe i would have done these things even without making a “new year’s resolution,” but putting your intentions on paper can be a powerful motivator.

I’m not a fan of new year’s resolutions. I think that they are counter productive. Last year I wrote about how new years resolutions are a bad idea.
I’m glad that I did since I considered writing it this year but then searched my archives and lo and behold, the article is already there! Heheh.

John, I think 2008 is the year you start running!
I think if you treat them like goals they can be quite effective. They’re just goals that happen to start at the beginning of a year.
Good luck with all your resolutions/goals everyone!
