Goals for Summer, 2010

First, some fitness goals:
Run 5 5Ks, 5 10Ks, and the Metro Health Grand Rapids (Half) Marathon. I'm also joining RunGR. I have to drop about 12 lbs and work on proportionality.

Summer reading:
I've become increasingly interested in John Muir, so I will read at least one book of his collected essays. On the stacks right now are: Geography of Bliss, At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream, the Dhammapada (again), and Walden.

Summer music:
A nice set of Chopin, probably the "Harp" Etude, and the first Impromptu, Op. 29. Review and finish up the Scriabin set: Etude Op. 8, No. 5, Etude F#, Op. 8, No. 2, and the great Prelude in C major, Op. 11 No. 1. And finish with the Liszt, Les Jeux d'eaux a la Villa d'Este.

And one painting...probably of the interior of the Castillo San Cristóbal.

Kierkegaard wrote, "There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming." So, there's a good reminder!
