1) Stay alive
2) Hike again

That's it. That's the list.
The year is certainly not over but since people are posting updates here's mine:

1) Yes, I'm still alive, unfortunately Maya is not, was a tough blow to lose her and I miss her all the time
2) 11 new peaks (4 12ers, 3 13ers), 1 14er repeat, hopefully a few more before the year is out

Also the Colfax half marathon in May. And written up by Denver Health as a story earlier in the year.

1 year follow up appointment with cardiology in about a month and so far so good.
