2007 Reflection/Review
2007 was an amazing year for me in more ways than I can count. I thought turning 40 this year was going to be the beginning of the end and that many of my personal bests were behind me. I could not have been more wrong.
I picked up running as something to do at lunch hours (and a means to losing some more weight). My duration increased, speed increased, and weight fell. I ran my first 5K race on the 4th of July and averaged 7:21/mile. My wife also started running and is getting new personal records almost weekly.
My kids have grown in every way imaginable. Accomplishments in School, Sports, Art, and decision making have made me extremely proud.
Professionally last year was also the best ever. Full of many new challenges and success.
Oh.. and there was some very memorable Hang Gliding for me too. It was great fun reviewing my log book, reliving the excitement and fun. I'm looking forward to the possibilities of more personal best next year. If there is one thing I've learned from turning 40, it's if you try hard, really try hard, your goals can become reality.
Flight Review:
Flights: 25
Total time: 16hours 32 min
Max duration: 3 hours (at Cloud 9)
Max Height: 5,896 AGL (at Cloud 9)
Acquired a new (to me) Harness (Contour) and Glider (U2) and they just happen to match :)
Lost a friend (Chad) and had a potentially dangerous close call during a launch that I don't want to forget.
