Push Homework Redo

I am thinking about my goals and my push goal and it does not set well with me.  I feel like I made another list like I do every year where it doesn't really push me to a new place that I want to be.  I am also with some of my goals of if they are really things I want to do.

So this was my list.

1. I have run a 4.5 hour marathon

Do I really want to do this?  Am I ready to commit to the level of effort that I need to do this?  This is time consuming and physically exhausting.  I really would like to be able to say I am "real" runner.  I think this one has to stay.

2. I have complete a triathlon

This is a definite.  I am disappointed with myself for not having this one knocked of this year.   These goals are going to take real discipline towards working out.

3. I have lost 15 pounds

This one will happen if I work towards 1 & 2.  I don't think weight loss should be my goal.  If I am doing the things I want to be doing this will just happen.

4. I meditate every week as a regular practice

This is a keeper.

5. I have paid off my credit card debt

This is a keeper.

6. I have moved into a new home in the city

This is a keeper.

7. I have a regular yoga practice and I can touch my toes

This is a keeper too, even though it feels like a lot to take on yoga, meditation and running/tri.  However I think it is a necessary component for my mind/body balance.

8.  I have written a short story

I am not sure this one is still real.  I talk about writing all the time but I never write.  I have a story in my head that I would like to get out.  Is this a goal that is really one of my top 10 that I would like to do?  I think this might be a keeper but I am on the fence.

9. I have performed a story or poem at an open mic

This is like the short story goal that it is something I would like to do but I am not sure I would put it as my top goal.  It is a balance activity that gets me doing something more than just exercise.  I am not sure if this is a keeper.

10.  I can swim with confidence and no fear of drowning.

This was a lame goal.  If I can do a triathlon I can swim.  I must have lost steam and just through this down there.  

So where do I land:
