Rachel's Fifty-Two Daring Deeds

Last night, I went with my friend Jamie to the track. We go every so often to walk and run a bit--last night we even hopped. It was rather crowded though, which was strange. We were there about a half-hour earlier than normal, so I wondered if that was the cause of the traffic, but Jamie came up with a more plausible reason. She pointed out that it is the first week of the new year. Everyone was starting a new resolution.

I realized that I hadn't actually come up with a resolution for 2009. After five seconds of consideration, I had it--I would become a daring person. Once a week, I will do something gusty (possibly reckless) and see if I can't overcome some of my anxiety and complacency. I might be willing to accept dares from others, so let me know if you have something in mind for me. Check back for updates!
