“Less talk talk” What? No Way! Jon, you are one of the funniest people I know–please keep up the “talk talk”!

Moderation - great word, and good luck with it. Especially getting rid of the junk. I too, know how hard it is to part with things..lol.

It sounds like you’re obsessive-compulsive, like many runners I know (including myself). E. calls me “one-track minded.” In a way, that’s a good thing - it allows us to focus on something like a laser. The bad thing is that we don’t like letting to. So I empathize.

I hardly every talk about running at work, but if a co-worker asks me what I did over the weekend, and I tell them I ran a 10k or did a nice, long run, he/she usually says something like, “You’re a running fanatic!” Which is ridiculous and irritating: I spend only a total of about 6 hours a week actually logging miles. That’s far, far fewer than the average amount of weekly TV-watching time for adults. But we don’t call people who watch TV (read: Everydamnbody) “TV fanatics.”

Okay, I’m off my soapbox.

Ahhh….great goals, Jon! These really could make an enormous difference in your life! As for kicking my butt Around The Bay…hmmm…bring it on! I’m pretty sure you’re faster than me but I’m always up to taking on a challenge.

I love your 06 goals! I think you’re going to knock them out of the park. I think most of us are right there with you on the obsession with our running. I’m constantly adding my monthly mileage, calcing times and such ALL day at work! It’s just so much more interesting…..

We are also getting rid of all the CRAP we’ve accumulated in our house this year. It’s just TOO much, it’s suffocating us. It’s all going on Ebay!

Moderation is good! Although I don’t think you can ever think, talk, or blog too much about running. Happy New Year.

Just how much cholcoat eis there in the world to write about it every Friday?
And what happens if you split down to eight inches and you can’t get up?
And I can recommend the “moderation” plan. It’s a good one.

I can relate to the eating over the sink and really wanting to find my abs. Has the spelling AND the grammar police been after you too? Kick her butt around the Bay!
