I DID IT!

This morning I ran non-stop for 10 minutes! I did the first 9 minutes at 6mph and the last minute at 8mph. So that means I also ran a mile in under 10 minutes. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!

Maybe it's the endorphins talking, but I feel amazing!

That's two goals off my list. And when I think back to that most atrocious agonizing experience of running "the mile" in middle school, I can now say "hey past Sam, trust me, you'll be able to do it... just wait about 10 years."

WOOOOHOOOO!! [insert victory dance]

A book idea

One of the 20 books I make is going to be for my friend Mark, along these lines: http://fieldnotesbrand.com/

I think it will be pretty easy to make. The trick will be printing the lined paper.

On my way

Last night I finished a book for Kelcie I'd been half-done with for a while. So that's 1 out of 20! Despite making two (big) mistakes, the book looks pretty good. So here's to 19 more!

List is done

Day #1

Time to get started on my list! Oddly enough, I finished my list just around midnight. A good time to finish writing and start doing!

Am I allowed to change my list after this, during the 1001? What if something comes up later that I want to add? What if I want to change something slightly? Hmmm...

I think the answer is "no changes" for now. We'll see about that later. But only if there are important changes to be made.

Day 1001 is on November 27, 2011.

101 in 1001

Kelcie started a list, and I got jealous!

This is a really neat idea: set yourself 101 goals to achieve in 1001 days (a little under three years). I don't remember which blog inspired her to try it, but there was another blog that inspired that blog, and probably yet another in this growing chain. So unfortunately, I don't know whose idea this was originally (it could even have originated *gasp* NOT ON THE INTERNET!).

That said, I'm going to start drafting a list (you'll see it on the side) and when it's done, I'll start my countdown!
