New Year's Resolutions - How will you get better?

What will you do this year?
Every year, millions of people make a resolution when a new year begins - to lose or gain something, to start or stop something, to be or not be someone. Within that same year, most of those people quit their resolution, giving in and returning to their old ways, probably because the change was too hard. I challenge each of you to not pick one GIANT resolution, but three smaller, obtainable things you can tackle. 

In this post, share your resolutions by commenting and listing them for us. Everyone who does this will receive a blue ticket - you're also inspiring others to possibly try what you're trying too. 

To get things rolling, I will tell you my three resolutions:

1. Run a 10k race in under 40 minutes (my previous best is 45:30)
2. Write in my diary every day (my dad does this, and when he shares things he wrote 40 years ago, it's quite interesting!)
3. Complete a Tough Mudder challenge (13 miles obstacle course, ending with a run through exposed, live wires)

So 6.3, what are you going to achieve in 2013 to make this the best year of your life. But enjoy it while it lasts, this year will only be your best for 365 days. . . until you get even better next year!
