Follow-up on 2008 Goals (5 Months Late)

This is a very long overdue follow-up on my personal goals for last year. So how did I do? I accomplished 9.5 out of 15 goals. Not bad.

Travel to a new country Done. Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru
Run 1/2 Marathon Done. San Francisco Half Marathon.
Finish Olympic Triathlon Done. Wildflower Triathlon and Sentinel Triathlon.
Weigh 215 lbs or less and maintain that weight through the end of the year Done.
Max out my 401k ($15,500) Done. Had to max out early before switching jobs. Unfortunately, startups don’t offer 401k’s.
Max out my ROTH-IRA ($5,000) Done.
Make 10k in outside income (outside of my main job) Unfortunately, this did not happen.
Learn Spanish (conversational level) Got some practice in Argentina and Peru but still need more work.
Post to blog regularly (1+ post per week) Half credit. I wrote 31 blog posts in 2008, which I think counts as “regular” but not up to my stated goal of 1 per week.
Read at least 2 books per month Done. Read 31 books in 2008. Full list on Librarything.
Take one photo everyday (project365) Never started.
Build and launch a website Designed and launched nrgrunning.com for Nina.
Start a company On hold since I decided to join a startup.
Leave on an extended trip Did not happen. Although, I did move to Switzerland in early 2009…
Learn Yoga Went to a couple yoga classes to try it out.
