2016 In Review – Goals accomplished. Challenge ahead…

Posted on by SURESH — No Comments ↓
2016 was a year filled with its set of challenges, victories, happy and testing Moments!!!
In retrospect when I look back, tempted to think I could have done/dealt somethings differently than I had,
but overall it was a great learning experience and grateful for a lot of things.
Somethings that I set out in the beginning of 2016 that came to fruition…
Thanks and Grateful to a lot of People – Friends, Family and Several Mentors along the way.

1. Run a Marathon

Was not a big Runner, started my Taekwondo training in December 2015, through my amazing Master’s advice
at TAEMA decided to run to build endurance, and gradually built up the distance and thanks to Marathon Training Academy.
Started with 10Ks, 2 Half marathons and finished the year with 2 Marathons in 2016

Modesto Marathon
Pony Express Marathon

Now Thinking of Newer Goals for 2017, looking at the things that worked for me, and talking to friends and
learning from Mentors. Competition is a good Motivator and Money on the line helps a good bit as well,
especially the fear of loosing, according to Dean Karlan, Yale Professor’s research proves it, https://www.stickk.com/
Let this be the Best Year Ever!!!!
