Back at the beginning of the year I set a few goals for myself and as the year is winding down, it’s time to take a look at them and see how I fared.

Well, honestly, I missed every goal by a mile.

I’m just as heavy as I was last year.  Nothing more to say about that.

On the cycling front, I had chosen three events which included the Six Pillars Century on the Eastern Shore, my annual MS ride, and the Seagull Century.  I missed the Six Pillars due to an injury.  My annual MS ride was a great ride, with amazing weather and I raised over $2800 for a good cause.  I never registered for the Seagull.

I didn’t take Mr. Grey to a park every week, but I did spend a lot more time with him in more meaningful ways.  He and I had a great year together and we’ll have another great one in 2012.

So, looking forward to 2012, here are some goals:

1. Shed the 30 pounds that I’d planned on last year.
2. Moderate my alcohol intake in such a way that I can still enjoy a beer or a glass of wine now and then, but not have a nagging sense that alcohol plays too great a role in my life.
3. Hit three cycling events, including a century.

There you have it folks, those are my 2012 goals.  With a lot of work and a bit of determination, I expect that I’ll be writing a different review of my progress in about 365 days.
