You did great even if you didn't quite reach all of your goals, but then again, you exceeded others, so on balance a remarkable year. Sorry to hear about your dad. Try to maintain your tranquility in the face of things you can't control. Sooner or later, these things come to us all.

I'll be in Baltimore in October. I'll be cheering you on in spirit if I can't be there in person for your half marathon.

Wow, I don't know whether to be more impressed with your accomplishments or with your specific goal setting.  Both are impressive! Best wishes on the 2016 list. 

I am sorry to hear about your dad.  Those sorts of details are terrifying. I feel anxiety just reading that.  Take care.

Thank you.  It is terrifying.  We're waiting now for CT results and that's horrible.  

Specific goal setting is where it's at for me.  If I do vague goals, I'm sure to fail and lose sight of them.  Being specific really helps keep me focused.

Don't you just love lists?! I too made a goal list for 2015. They very specific, measurable, etc....Well, I lost the list. ha!! But I did take care of the major things: Re-enroll in school, get bariatric surgery, make income while in school ****pt my job). 

You example is a great one to follow. I will make sure I don't lose my list this year. It looks like you kicked butt in 2015!!

Wishing you the best with your family. It's not easy dealing with a loved ones' health issues.

I'm sure you'll also make 2016 your bee-otch as well.

Thank you.  So far my goals are going okay - I had a bit of a rocky start to the year.
