Craig Adams Percent

No intro.  I'm clearly late on my update!  I hate that I have my time so planned out, it took me 8 days to figure out when I could squeeze in my NYR update!!!  Things should change soon, by Oct update I bet! ;)

Fun-ish fact for fall.

Pumpkins are not vegetables, they're fruits!  Who knew!? 


Here's where I stand... My Resolutions:

1. Run a half-marathon.  If there were one month and one goal I epically failed at during this NYR stint, it was this one during September.  I'd bet most anyone could have guessed that'd be the case following the end of August.  I'm still torn on this.  But I plan to get back into the running, excercising regime as soon as possible... just don't know when that will be.  I have a half-marathon noted for first weekend in Dec...
2. Try new things.  If there were one month I somewhat went above and beyond on, during September it was this one!  I coached (coach) u10 boys soccer which has been an entire new, and fun challenge.  I've said 'yes' to a lot of tasks, and helped out with a lot of things I want to promote and see change in.  I started a new part-time job, which next month you can read about how it turned into a full-time job.  All in all, lots of new things!
3. Be better at everything. I really think I've made good efforts to be better at everything.  At times in the past month, I've tried to be so much better at everything I've done, that I actually sacrificed me time.   (Which isn't always the best thing to sacrifice.)  But I really feel like I have been better at time management,  patience, and organization.  Two of those three, I don't ever make concrete efforts to be better at, but with new challenges I've been able to improve these skills to make the most of my time and capabilities.
4. Find luck. Luck is a funny thing.  I'm trying to determine if luck exists, BUT in September, timing was everything.  Especially at the end.  And I had some pretty 'lucky' timing.  But still looking... maybe end of October update will have found more luck!


Past NYR updates:
January 1 - 12 percent
End of Jan- 64 percent
End of Feb. - 58ish percent... I bet

End of March - First Quarter. Has to be less than 50%
End of April -  46.8 + or - 2.2... maybe?
End of May -  _____ %.
End of June - 46% Half way!
End of July - I'd like to buy a... 40ish percentage?!
End of August - 32% *
