What are yours?
Do you make them?
Please share your thoughts.
I don't.
I have an on going list of things, and I do them, usually when i can, or when the motivation is right. The list gets revised as-needed, which is reasonably often. There are shortterm and medium term and long term things on that list.
The thing with resolutions is... if I didn't have the motivation to do something on Dec 15th, I'm not likely to have it on Jan 1st. And there's no Big Bang when you turn the calendar page to Jan. 1st.
For me, I tend to think about things for a while, and one day I get a moment of clarity of sorts, and jump in both feet.
Starting things when I'm half hearted about them or feel like I should, or someone is pushing me to. I know myself well enough to know that I'm not gonna stick with them, and it's a waste of time and energy, not to mention an additional blow to self esteem that quitting can do. Have enough false starts, and one day you can find yourself believing you can't do the race.
In my case, this is true in swimming and life in general.

My 1st post.....
One of my resolutions is to swim more and run less.( the reason that I joined this forum) I am ADDICTED to running and have over time ran my knee into the grave. I do swim and bike,but not well.
I live a block from the ocean and make myself go out there in the summer and flail around,looking closely to an injured fish or shark bait. Needless to say,changing hobbies is traumatic to a running addict.
Another resolution.... "keep life simple" . I keep too many balls in the air, so this year Im not keeping a full calender.. but going to make myself enjoy not having anything planned ..if it kills me (haha). Not running ever marathon in sight helps with this - I stayed in training all year long.
So,where do I begin in becoming a swimmer?
Have a Happy New year!!!
