That problem is already solved.

Life is quite the numbers game. Keep it up!I have finally come to terms of how I would like to see my 2021 go. This is the closest I will come to calling anything a resolution. It is more a set of things I want to try to do. Some of them are attainments. Goals can be used. But there are so many that it's not really possible to hit them all.
On the sort of health front, as I said I want to see 190 with a stretch of 185. Some of these have "stretch" which is this nonsensical expression of "stretch goals." When I think of the word stretch, I think of Stretch Armstrong. I also want to ride 500 hours, plus hike/walk 180 which isn't too hard with the daily dog walks happening now. I have some other health things like stretch 300 times, which would have been simple until we got a dog. Now the morning stretch is a battle to say the least. I am also trying to focus on getting 7+ hours of sleep on average. I guess focus & sleep in the same sentence is strange.
Notable bike activities would be riding 2 different DH parks, riding a new-to-me MTB park, doing a century ride, doing 100 rides on the MTB (last year was like 104), and hitting 48 different parks. The 48 is the one that will be the hardest. But with travel happening mostly by car (if at all) this year, I think it's possible.
I want to read 52 books, including a reread of the whole Foundation Universe series of books by Asimov. I finished I, Robot last night which is just a collection of short stories. I also want to write 150 things, be it posts here or on the travel blog. I didn't mention it but D got me a MasterClass subscription for Xmas. I want to do 18 of these. I have finished 2 so far. I'll talk about them more in another blog but there's 1 that's worth the subscription alone, with Chris Hadfield.
I also want to get 2-3 certifications for work.
The COVID-based normalcies would be a bunch of what I listed before, such as Canada, Broadway, eggs Benedict, the Vermont trip, riding Vietnam in Mass, ramen, skiing this season as well as next, NYC, Boston, getting the vaccine. and seeing another country. Plus Rhode Island & Maine (which would really be more work-related).
There are some MTBNJ ones I have listed but they will be a little COVID-dependent. Holding a race if possible, the summer trip, 12 team rides, and a team gathering at the end of the year when this is presumably over. I want to put more focus into the team this year, because I think as we open up, people will be really itching to get outside and be a part of the community. Hoping to be able to help that along.
So far, I have done none of this. But we may be able to check 1 off this weekend. We'll see.
Peter Attia says he wants to compete and win the Centenarian olympics as his life goal. Your writing made me think of that goal.While the above post does look pretty numbers-based I would posit that the vast majority of people also follow some form of numerical system. If I were to ask most people to sit and think it out, and to give a response to the question, "What is your aim in life?" I feel like it would have to break down to the following for most people, at least in some form:
1. To feel good or great
2. To live really long
If you don't care about either of those items then I cede that numbers mean nothing. But for myself I think it breaks down specifically to:
Live 100 years
Feel great the whole way
