Around the start of the new year, I made a resolution to do the treadmill and exercise a little more often. I also wanted to take the winter to go through all the books and DVDs I had.
To keep myself motivated and honest about the first goal, I combined it with the second and decided to give myself regular challenges. How many episodes of a specific show could I watch while on the treadmill, and how many books can I get through, all before a specific date?
Starting in January, my first challenge was to finish the first two seasons of Babylon 5 and re-read the Clash of Eagles trilogy, all by the end of February/first of March.
Even with last week mostly "off" for events and busyness at work, I managed to finish Book 3 last weekend, and walked through Babylon 5's season 2 finale earlier this week!
My next challenge will take me into the end of April, attempting to finish the next two B5 seasons (making it easier to finish the fifth and final season by my birthday the end of May). For reading, I'm going back to favourites of my youth and tackling, in as chronological an order as I can, the large and cherished collection of Avengers and Thunderbolts comics I've amassed.
Fun (and fit?) times ahead.
Cheers!
