Wesley Hunt

Still waiting on those New Year's Resolutions 1-10.

Since I didn't make any myself I thought I might steal one of yours.

Wesley Hunt 2012 Resolutions:

1. M-F: Up at 4:00am every morning to run, then read, in that order. Life's too short to sleep.[As an aside, I just finished Brutal Journey about the Narvaez Expedition across North America in the early 16th Century (not great), and I'm currently halfway through Undaunted Courage (very good) by Stephen Ambrose; many others on my radar, and I'm also open to suggestions].

2. On weekends, make an effort to run at River Parks, on trails, or some other location not my neighborhood.

3. Attend 8:30am Worship Service to supplement 9:30am Sunday School. A very thoughtful, academic, and engaging pastor recently came to Little Rock, and he's excellent; multiple Chronicles of Narnia references this past Sunday. Of course, I'm biased, because he conducted my wedding ceremony.

4. No beer until I cross the finish line at Boston; then, lots of it.

5. Pass along my love of America's Pastime to Max as he plays tee ball for the first time this Spring.

6. Make good decisions (or at least better ones).

7. Talk less and shave more (per my wife).

8. Forgive Albert Puljols and forget Tony Romo.

9. Continue writing in my journal, at least weekly, and preferably more.

10. Put one foot in front of the other and see what happens (per brother). If racing goals not achieved, life goes on. Family still happy and healthy, beer still tastes good, Hogs' spring practice still starts in August, etc.

11. Stay within 10 minutes of Rob Murphy at Bston.

You were serious!

I'll have to respond in more detail later but for now let me say that #4 is a big mistake. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy".

Rob - Agreed. Let's scratch #4. Overly ambitious anyway...replace it with "Train like John Landy."

Good.

Have you ever seen Jimmy Fallon's thank-you note segment?

"Thank-you microbreweries for making my alcoholism seem like a neat hobby".
