| Pt. Reyes. A fun 10 miler out to Alamere Falls. |
2015 was the year of cycling. Didn't get out on any real long runs. A few 20 milers, but nothing notable. If my ankle holds up I want to ramp up my miles and finally do a 50 miler... so nothing changed here.
- do a 50 miler
- do a long run in the Sierras.
- do several longer runs on my list...
- 2015 - most notable may have been Alamere Falls...
- East Bay Skyline, Tam, Ohlone, Skyline to the Sea, Ridge to Bridge, Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, Tenaya Rim Loop, Big Sur

Ski
- Goals for 2016:
- Ski trip - going to AK with the boys in April! Woot woot!
- Do a E. Side Peak
- Goals for 2015:
- Go on a ski trip! From now on, I'm planning one ski trip a year. This year we are headed to Bell Lake Yurt in Montana! - that was awesome...
- And I'm gonna add... go pond skimming... this turns out to be tough... as the conditions have to be perfect. Next time I get the opportunity, I will make it a priority. - didn't get to do it last year either...
- 2014: was a meager year, but highlights include: Shasta with Barrett, North Peak with Stefan, Lassen with Metres, two powder days at Sugar Bowl, spending family time and teaching Kai how to ski! I can't wait get Kai on the snow...
- go on a hut trip
- 2015: Bell Lake Yurt
- 2014: none...my first time in 10+ years... we did manage to hit up some cabins in the summer time including: Loon Lake Chalet, Sly Guard Cabin, West Point Inn, Yurts at Napa Bothe.
- 2013: Schneider Hut, Ostrander, Pear Lake, Tuolumne Meadows Hut, Snow Creek Hut
- climb Shasta
- go for 3 summits in a day from Horse camp... when conditions are perfect? - maybe this year?
- 2015: Had the best day trip up Shasta with Barrett this year. Angel Wings, Konwakiton, the Entertainer.
- 2014: Up Hotlum-Wintun with Barrett
- 2013: did it along with Brokeoff in the same day.

Uni
- Wasn't very successful in reaching my uni goals. I think this will come more naturally when Kai starts unicycling. Which is another goal I just added.
- 2016 goal:
- Teach Kai to Unicycle
- goals from 2015:
- Teach Kai to Uni - progressing... but not quite there yet...I did get a MUNI and I've been riding it around... I've done Chaparral w/o any dabs and have had some fun sessions with Tom and Co on Side O.
- Goals from 2014:
- Wheelwalk 10 ft... yeah I need to work on this... this has been on my list forever...
- Coker ride up Tam or Hamilton... nope... but I did get on my coker a few times this year logging around 200 miles.
- get a MUNI!

| about to tumble... |
- Goals for 2016:
- go to a few rolling classes
- get out at least once a month
- go SUP surfing 6x.
- get out on the canoe/kayak/surfski... just get out on the water more..
- 2015: Getting better at this. With 2 SUPs (one inflatable, one touring), 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, and a surfski, I've been getting better at incorporating water activities on our getaways.
- 2014: manzanita lake, loon lake, red rocks with durbs, commuted via SUP,
- 2013: russian river, clear lake, manzanita lake
- 2015: I'm pretty sure I got out at least once a month. I paddled across the bay 7 times, all solo. The point reyes cycling/paddle adventure was amazing, loon lake, spring lake... fun times. I won't be commuting as much since we moved offices. Alas... might be time to start selling a few boats.
- Goals from 2014:
- go on a few thurs night paddles with John B... never did manag to get out. Did go out to Albany Shoal with Mi-Suk and met up with the folks.
- get a bomber roll on both sides... not so bomber... need to go on a few more practice rolling sessions
- back deck roll? - nope
- commute to work 12 times. I think I did it more like 8 times.

Climbing
- tag a new 14er (10 of 15 done...)
- 2015: was a bad year for climbing for me... never really got out in the alpine environment...
- 2014: Didn't make it up a new one... but I did make it up Sill again with Nick... but I guess I did go up 2 new ones the year before, so I'll give myself a pass.
- 2013: Williamson and Tyndall with Scott
- go climbing in the Sierras for a weekend
- 2015: fail...
- 2014: E. Butt of El Cap with Nick, Temple to Sill, and Lover's Leap.

Yoga/Gymnastics
- Do a 1 min (free) handstand
- 2015: I've been taking Parkour classes, which has helped this goal. But 1 min turns out to be quite a long time. I'm up to about 20 seconds.
- Work on my Front Flip & Side Flip
- keep progressing on my planche & front lever
- Crow to Handstand.
