New Years resolutions

Man, 2011 was quite a tumultuous exercise year!  Started really running, did an awesome mud run, moved to the DC area, stopped running and working out for five months, started swimming again after six years off, busted my left ankle...

Anyways, with 2012 now here with a bang, here are my physical fitness goals:

• Get back into top competition shape in the pool
• As part of that, I'm aiming to get back to or beat at least three of my old best times in the pool.  Doesn't matter what events (although I hope it's in fly and back), just three times.
• I aim to average 10-12 practices a week (at least during short course, not sure what the long course practice schedule is).  That would be doubles Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, singles Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings, and at least two other practices from the evening practices offered on Monday/Tuesday/Thursday.  The ideal schedule would be all the morning practices (singles and doubles), Monday night, and Tuesday or Thursday night (if not both).
• Get up to that all fly practice by the end of April
• Provided my left ankle can handle it, start running again.  
• I don't know what I did to it, but sometime in November, I hurt the top of my foot/bottom of my ankle and it has hurt off and on since then.  It usually hurts like blazes for the first 300-400 of practice every time I get in the water.
• If I can get back into running, train for a mud run and a half marathon.
• Get back in the weight room.
• I was pretty active in the weight room and also did stationary exercises (pullups, pushups, crunches, and the like) up through this past spring, then I moved up here and haven't gotten back into it.
• Continue losing weight to my target of ~180.
• Even with how fitful my swimming regimen has been these past few months, I've still lost about 10 pounds from my peak.  Once I start working out again, it'll be harder to lose the weight, since I pack on muscle rather quickly, but as long as I hit that weight range by the end of the year, I'll be happy!
• Continue making good friends and strengthening existing friendships.
• Down in Charleston, I had plenty of friends at work who were workout companions who'd motivate me to workout (Jeff, Matt, Jennifer, Mark, Laura, Meredith, Brian, and all the others, if you're reading this, I'm referring to YOU!).
• Up here, I don't have that big network of friends, so I've had to make them in the process of my own training.  So far, that's just been in the pool.  A BIG kudos goes to the friends I've made in the pool who've motivated and encouraged me to push myself and get back into it: Drew, Katie, Dan, Amanda, Michelle, Jon, Francisco, Jennifer, and all the others.
• The folks I've mentioned have been my main source of motivation and helped make 2011 one of the best years I've had in quite a while, so I hope to continue to strengthen those friendships while creating new ones!

Bring it on, 2012!
