Actually I got the idea from the Fargo Marathon website. You know, the one that inspired my Dean rant? They are having a 20X10, where they want to get 20,000 runners for their 2010 race.
That play on 2010 led me to be inspired to set 20 goals for 2010. I haven't set them all yet. Which is fine. I'm not a January 1 Resolution person. In fact, it seems to be that the folks who wait for the crisp new year to start losing weight, excercising, tend to lose steam and quit around February 1. When I belonged to the gym, I used to dread the month of January and the "Resolutionaries". After Groundhog Day, they pretty much all went away.
So far, the 20 in 10 are (in no particular order):
Lose 20 lbs
Finish the Laurel Highlands 70 mile race
Run a marathon/ultra in a state I haven't raced before
Learn to swim-I can kind of swim. Take some lessons in the summer and be able to swim laps in a pool
Go to wine country in California with the hubby

I believe at some point in the new year I am going to cycle through 90 days of P90x in the midst of my running to see how I like it.
I like the initial goals! And in response to a comment you lofted at me...I love you too Kimba! I wish you were in the 24 hour this weekend and coming down to NC with us!
Swimming is a great way to cross-train, as it will save your legs without losing aerobic fitness.
Though, it's regrettably a crappy way to lose weight. :-/
Have you run New Mexico? Run the Caldera is a great trail marathon.
