The year ahead and the Bangalore Ultra 78kn

Have been doing this every year and hopefully will materialize this time around. Will make it happen. Things to do before the Dec, 2010

1.Get a Job in the MFI sector- As a human being, i believe that i should bring about a change by assisting the poor in helping themselves. Have always wanted to do it. Hopefully i will be able to feed/fuel myself while doing it :-). Micro-finance is an idea whose time has come.Period

2.Run minimum 3 half marathons- This is something i am quite confident about. Have signed up for mumbai half on Jan 17th. Auroville Half on feb-14 looks good(haven't registered for that). I am reserving one for either the Shimla or Delhi Half organised by Runningandliving.com.-This one is long due. Promised my good friend and metor, Mr Rahul Varghese,CEO-Runningandliving that i will be doing at least one of their runs in 2009. Couldn't keep that promise. Shouldn't break it next year.

3.Bangalore ultra- 78km in November- This one is to test my limits- physically and mentally. Need to find what i am made up of and Bangalore Ultra is just the right venue for it.

4.Cycle 5000kms- This can be done if i average 400-500km on a monthly basis. Cycling to work is an option(if i get a job) i am looking at to achieve the target.

5.Improve time management skills- Well, simply put, if i need to achieve all the above, this is a pre-requsite. Need to utilize my time more efficiently. Easier said than done. Will try and reverse that age old adage.

6.Public relations-SWOT analysis needs to be done- I must confess, i am bad at this. Too self-centered for my own good. Need to be a lot more accommodating. Till now, have done things my way without analyzing the other side of the coin. This should be challenging and interesting. This well help me a lot and make a better at people management.

7.Be regular at updating this blog:-). Hey, i have a follower and i cant let her down :-).

8.Should or Shouldn't i?- This one is a bit tricky. Have kept this to myself for quite sometime. Should i confess or not?. Need to decide and decide fast. If the former, then when-post i get a job?( a man with some money is always appealing). If not, i should tuck-it into a tiny space inside my cerebrum and move on!.

9.Yoga,rock climbing,swimming and a new language- Yoga looks like a good bet considering i have learnt it recently. Learning swimming and have signed up for rock climbing. A new language should be tough to incorporate but as the saying goes, Impossible is Nothing

Phew, thats about it for next year. Will get it done by December 2010. :-)
