Resolutions and Inspirations

I read a blog post on the website runnersworld.com


IMPOSSIBLE THINGS
One of my all-time favorite quotes is from Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
(Alice) "There is no use trying; one can't believe impossible things."
(Queen) "I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
Now that we've all made our New Year's resolutions, it's time to go beyond and reach for the impossible.  Sometimes referred to in business as a "stretch goal," what's the one thing you've always dreamed of accomplishing, though never thought possible?
(cut) So there you have my impossible thing.  Now, let's hear about yours! Share with us the one thing you've always dreamed of, but never thought there was much use in trying.  Dare boldly; the sky's no longer the limit (it's laying on the pavement anyway, so reaching beyond it shouldn't be too difficult).
Okay, out with those impossibilities!


So, what's yours? Mine is simple, and not really impossible. Run the Brooklyn Half-Marathon in May. in 1:30:00 (which may be hard though not impossible) It's that simple!
