2016 Goals

This is a rough list of goals since January is almost over, I also attempted this in 2015 but either made too many goals or made too many that weren't achievable all at once. This time I'll try to be a bit more realistic.


  • Car
    • No plan for this year, so that's a good start
  • Fitness
    • Bike
      • Seems more possible since I'm recovering from an injury right now
      • It will probably be a while until I'm back running 5 or 6 days a week again
    • Half Marathon
      • My running plan for the year is very uncertain right now
      • Hopefully at least one half marathon, but probably won't set a best time
      • Perhaps Gold Coast and Melbourne marathon events
    • Swimming
      • I've done a fair bit of swimming already this month
      • Try to continue every two weeks to keep my skills up
    • Triathlon
      • This might be possible with a bit of swimming skill acquired
      • For 2016 I will research the requirements, and maybe participate in 2017
    • Weight
      • Try to get down to 70 kilograms at last...
  • Food
    • Baking
      • Two recipes a month would be good
    • Health
      • A more balanced diet
      • Eliminate a bit of junk food
  • Holiday
    • Thinking about a week in April - New Zealand, Queensland or Tasmania
    • Then a couple of weeks in Asia during winter, around about August
  • Investment
    • House
      • Make a decision this year about what to do next
    • Shares
      • Adding a few more while the market is hopefully at a low point
  • Minimal
    • Need to get rid of old clothes and shoes
    • Old computer parts and various other equipment
  • Passport
    • Third time planning to get a UK passport, would have been more useful last year
  • Running
    • Beating last years total distance seems unlikely
    • Get back to full speed at best a personal best at one distance
    • Attend some different events around Australia
    • Try to get near 50 park run events
  • Video Games
    • Unpack the Xbox One...
    • Finish a few games this year
  • Work
    • Finish one new certification
    • Changing jobs might be possible later this year
      • See if UK or USA is a possibility...
