Fitness goals

1. Portland Marathon. This would probably be a good introductory marathon for me, and I feel comfortable with it as an idea because I know sort of how it goes (after going down with a friend who ran it two years ago). Portland is close and fun and would be good as it is a nice place for a weekend trip but is also not ridiculously far away; there are fun things to do in Portland, and the drive is really not that long. The race is on October 5, 2008, which is exactly 5 months from now (not a lot of time, but still a good amount for training). http://portlandmarthon.org/; training at http://www.marathonrookie.com/marathon-training.html ... 
2. Participate in cross-training activities. Specifically, I'd like to spend time in the pool at the Y at least once a week, and also get involved with the ultimate frisbee team in Tacoma, and maybe play ultimate 1x week; a good website for Tacoma in general is this one called exit 133. the forum part about frisbee: http://www.exit133.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=736; I called the guy who seemed somewhat in charge of it and he was drunk, but coordination should continue...
3. Get involved with teaching skiing next year part time/ on weekends, at Crystal. Free pass, get to spend time with little kids, and get to hang out with cool people. This should probably start up around the same time that the portland marathon is winding down; a good transition for me.
