Some obligatory New Year's Resolutions

• I am going to lose weight. A lot, to be precise. Yes, I know the entire world tells itself the same thing. But I will pull it off. And to create enough peer pressure (even though I'm arrogant enough to think I haven't got that many peers), I will be writing a column about it in the Dutch edition of Men's Health. 60,000 readers should be enough pressure to keep it up. Oh, the amount of weight? About 20 kilograms. The first 2 are gone already, partly thanks to the nasty stomach flu of last week. As a benchmark, I'll be posting my weight loss per week. We are currently at 99, the end goal is 78, or my weight two years ago, before I started my own company and grew into a fat pig.
• I am going to run in the Utrecht City Marathon on the 28th of March. Not the full 42 kilometres, but the 10 kilometre version, together with my pal Blauw Oog. My goal is to do it within 55 minutes, which is still very slow compared to the world record, but then again, I'm no athlete. Blauw Oog has a personal goal of 65 minutes, but he has a habit of aiming too low. I can do 10 kilometres in 60 minutes quite easily, so I've got 3 months to shave off those 5 minutes.
• I am going to party quite a bit more. There were too many 80 hour working weeks in 2004, so a little R'n'R would probably be called for every now and then. I guess this resolution may be one of the hardest to keep, me being a workaholic and all that...

Let me conclude by wishing you all a very obligatory but heartfelt happy 2005!
