Here's the six goals I've been working on throughout the year:

1. Run a half-marathon (21KM) in a decent time (less than 2 hours) and achieve a moderate level of strength; 30 pushups, 60 situps, and 10 pullups should do as a start (based on the Australian Army's Commando Physical Fitness Entry Requirements). I don't think my overall fitness has improved in the last year unfortunately, because I was rather slack early in the year. I have been running through a new program since October which is resulting in some dividends for improved strength at least, but it's mostly just recovering back up to my maxes of a year or two ago. Currently I'm at a single set maximum of 24 pushups, 45 situps, 47 body-weight squats, and 5 pullups. I've been focusing on resistance training instead of running so I'm not sure where I am on the half-marathon front.
2. Shoot a rifle accurately. I currently don't own my own rifle, but I have been shooting at the local range with the club .22's. I can normally manage around 2-4cm groups at 50yds from a bench rest, which comes out to around 380-390 out of 400 (40 shots) on the targets we use.
3. Have a decent knowledge of First Aid. No real progress on this, though I have read a bit on the subject.
4. Have a basic working knowledge of at least one non-English language. I've worked some more on Indonesian, but there where a few months there where I didn't work on it very much. I'm currently up to 717 "facts" in my Anki deck, about 400-500 of which are words, with the remainder being phrases and sentences.
5. Post regularly here (at least once a week). Yeah, this hasn't happened, but I'll try this year.
6. Have at least a basic knowledge of the Western Canon. I've been reading a few more classics, but not as many as I would like unfortunately.

I've added a couple of new goals; mostly using Anki to aid memorising information:

1. Memorise the arithmetic tables for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division up to 20x20. I've been working through these in an Anki deck which I generated containing the whole 1600 possibilities there are with these values. Currently I've got 730 (45.6%) "Mature cards", 57 (3.6%) "Young cards", and 813 (50.8%) "Unseen cards". Most of the "Mature cards" are the ones I find easy already, while the "Unseen cards" are ones I haven't tried yet.
2. Learn Morse Code. I've got a Morse code Anki deck, and so far I've learnt all the letters, but I still need to work on them a bit more before I've got them fully memorised, and I've also have to work on the special characters and the like.
3. Memorise Chapter Titles for every Chapter of the Bible. I read this idea in Friesen and Maxson, Decision Making and the Will of God. The basic idea is that you read through the entire Bible coming up with chapter titles (like Genesis 1; "The Beginning", Genesis 27; "Jacob's Deception") and then memorise them, so that you know where everything is in the Bible. I've gone through 168 chapters so far, which gets me to Deuteronomy 15.

And removed two old ones as well:

1. Make a decent profit on the share market (better than 5% annually). I've been out of the share market for quite some time now, so this doesn't really make sense as a goal any longer.
2. Be a member of the SES. I really haven't done anything on this, and I don't know if I'll be staying in the same area long term, so I'll drop this as a goal.

1. Run a half-marathon (21KM) in a decent time (less than 2 hours) and achieve a moderate level of strength; 30 pushups, 60 situps, and 10 pullups should do as a start (based on the Australian Army's Commando Physical Fitness Entry Requirements). Merging these two goals into a single goal. Currently to work on these I'm doing the Fifty Pull-Ups plan (at level 3), and the c25k plan on Monday-Wednesday-Friday, and doing relatively small rep situps and pushups (three sets of 30 & 20 respectively) Tuesday-Thursday to maintain my counts on them. I'm thinking of adding more hand grips to this to strengthen my grip as well.
2. Be at a half-decent martial artist. Dropping for now; may revise at a later date.
3. Shoot a rifle and pistol accurately. Dropping the pistol component for now (pistol licenses are even more painful then rifles), but I'm a member of the local rifle club, and I've got an application for a "Permit to Acquire" in and I'm waiting on that to buy myself a rifle.
4. Have a decent knowledge of First Aid. Continuing to read bits and pieces of first aid books.
5. Be a member of the SES. Still got to get in contact with the local branch.
6. Have a basic working knowledge of at least one non-English language. Recently restarted the Indonesian book; and I've finished two of the lessons over the last three weeks.
7. Make a decent profit on the share market (better than 5% annually). Nothing new; but my shares are doing OK.
8. Publish a short story, at least in one of the online magazines, but print would be better. Dropping for now; may change my mind at a later date.
9. Post regularly here (at least once a week). Yeah, I'm really not doing too well at this, but I'll keep working on it.
10. Have at least a basic knowledge of the Western Canon. A new goal. Haven't really got any direction on this; sort of just starting with whatever is cheap at the local second-hand book shop. I've read Rousseau's Social Contract* so far and have a handful of poetry, drama, and philosophy books in my to-read pile.

*. One sentence review of the Social Contract: "Wrong, but in interesting ways." I'll hopefully write up a more detailed review sometime soon.

1. Run a half-marathon (21KM) in a decent time (less than 2 hours). Nothing much.
2. Achieve a moderate level of strength; 30 pushups, 60 situps, and 10 pullups should do as a start (based on the Australian Army's Commando Physical Fitness Entry Requirements). My last test was 62 situps and 44 pushups so I've got the count for situps and pushups. I'm going to keep doing the hundred pushups/two hundred situps plan over the next two weeks and then get back into the c25k running plan.
3. Be at a half-decent martial artist. No Progress.
4. Shoot a rifle and pistol accurately. No Progress.
5. Have a decent knowledge of First Aid. No Progress.
6. Be a member of the SES. No Progress.

9. Publish a short story, at least in one of the online magazines, but print would be better. No progress.
10. Post regularly here (at least once a week). Pretty close over the last couple of weeks.

1. Run a half-marathon (21KM) in a decent time (less than 2 hours). Done bits and pieces off running, but no real progress.
2. Achieve a moderate level of strength; 30 pushups, 60 situps, and 10 pullups should do as a start (based on the Australian Army's Commando Physical Fitness Entry Requirements). Been doing the One Hundred Pushups and Two Undred Situps plans, but haven't had any chance to do pullups while I've been away. Last check of the Pushups and Situps a couple of weeks ago was: 57 situps (nearly there) and 41 pushups.
3. Be at a half-decent martial artist. No Progress.
4. Shoot a rifle and pistol accurately. I've got my license, but haven't got a rifle or a chance to do any shooting yet.

6. Be a member of the SES. No Progress.
7. Have a basic working knowledge of at least one non-English language. No progress.
8. Make a decent profit on the share market (better than 5% annually). I bought a bunch of RIO and BHP back in May; RIO has made about 22% and BHP 9%. I also have some other shares that I've owned since last year that have made a good solid profit as well.
9. Publish a short story, at least in one of the online magazines, but print would be better. No progress.
10. Post regularly here (at least once a week). Ha, that's rich.
