A Resolution

My parents bought me a 6th edition IPod for planning their Taiwan adventure.  One of the great features of this small gadget is that it also serves as a pedometer.  
For years, I have made resolutions on December 31st, and promptly forgotten what they were sometime shortly after January 1st.  But this year, Amy and Kevin told me that one secret to resolution making and keeping is to come up with something that you can actually measure your success at- for example, one year Amy decided that she was going to read a certain number of books- and she did! 
So my New Year's Resolution is to walk 10,000 steps, 4 days a week.  So far, three weeks have passed, and I have accomplished my goal all three weeks.  Yesterday, we walked over 20,000 steps (today I am very sore) as we participated in a 10 K in Tainan.

 
 It feels good to have a measurable goal.  2011 is off to a good start!
