Bring on 2010!

Well, I've decided not to heed my own advice. I know I was just talking about how if you keep your goals to yourself you're more likely to accomplish them, but quite frankly I'm too much of a blabbermouth (or perhaps bloggermouth) to pull that off. Silence is golden, but I'm much more of a sterling silver, faux bling type of a gal.

So here is my New Year's resolution for 2010: to get a PR in something. Not an old-lady, now-that-I'm-back-swimming, USMS PR, but I want to break one of my times from high school. See, I had one good swimming year when I was 16, then I started to burn out and ultimately quit, er, retired. But now I'm back with full-force and ready to challenge 16-year-old Kim to a rematch!

I did a little digging and looked up my times from 12 years ago. My goal is to break at least one of the following in 2010:

Short Course Yards
500 Free: 5:03.59
200 free: 1:56.5
1000 Free: 10:25.62
1650 Free: 17:44.45
200 Fly: 2:13.33
400 IM: 4:44.30

Long Course Meters
400 Free: 4:38.99
800 Free: 9:30.57
1500 Free: 18:05.19
200 Fly: 2:34.11
400 IM: 5:34.13

Certainly I have a long way to go, but 28-year-old Kim is ready for a new challenge!


How do the Kims stack up against each other, you might ask? Well, let's take a look:

Looks to me like a fair match-up. Let's get ready to rumble!!
