Tim's Bits and Pieces

My ten goals, and what progress I've made (two week update):

1. Run a half-marathon (21KM) in a decent time (less than 2 hours). No progress, recovering from the flu.
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). Some small progress, but nothing significant.
3. Be at a half-decent martial artist. No Progress.
4. Shoot a rifle and pistol accurately. Sent in all the required paper-work for this. Now it's a waiting game.
5. Have a decent knowledge of First Aid. Nothing much.
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). 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). One post.
