- Continue to learn and post about technical learnings (via this blog!)
Running
I never thought I would be a runner. But something happened in July of 2022. I suddenly [started running 3x per week](/running.png), and took the 5k training plan via my Garmin watch app. I _highly_ recommend the [Forerunner 45](https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/641121) if you are looking for a solid smart watch to get you started.
Eating Healthy
This has been a constant struggle for me for years. Its time to nail this down.
After thinking about building something for myself to build meal plans weekly, I came to the realization that whatever I build probably wouldn't be nearly as complete as [Eat This Much](https://www.eatthismuch.com/) which seems to do exactly what I want. So, I paid the $47 for an annual subscription.
Blogging
I really intend blogging to bring a few benefits to my life:
- Capture my learnings
- Share my learnings
- Build my digital platform
I don't see myself ever being a successful writer, but the intent is to help others and build a brand.
Conclusion
These goals are to build on momentum that I naturally built towards the end of 2022. I look forward to seeing what happens in 2023!
