I have been trying to better track my goals this year, and find myself failing at some, exceeding at others. I’m not sure if that means that I did a poor job setting goals, or that I’m not so good at following through. I’ll have to evaluate that in December.

In terms of goals, this is a milestone for me. Not really a big goal for this year, but it’s an accomplishment that I’m proud of, and it exceeds a goal I set two years ago.

As of today, I’ve been running continuously for two years. Every day I’ve run at least a mile every day for 730 days. Yesterday was my 730th day, and today, Sept 10, 2010, starts my third year. I track this on my other blog (The Daily Runner) and I’m listed on the Running Streak Association’s site as #210 on the active list.

Getting through these past two years has given me new insight into my health, and also kept me going in other areas. I learn to better manage my life and keep on a more even keel over time as well as motivate me.

So I looked at how other things are going. I checked my posting for the year, and I have these counts:

Month  Post Count
8        410
7        453
6        377
5        352
4        442
3        277
2        372
1        280

That’s an average of 370 a month, which is above my goal of 300/month. Pretty good, and I’m enjoying answering questions again, which is a bonus.

I also checked my blog count. I was trying to post every day, and I know I missed a few days, but I had a few double posts as well.

Month Posts
1       39
2       37
3       26
4       37
5       28
6       44
7       37
8       30
9        8

With an average of 22 days a month, and an average post count of 34, I think I’m doing well here.

I did miss one newsletter, and started two in the morning when I woke up, but otherwise doing well there as well. Now if I could just find some time to work with SSRS….
