My Q1 2016 in review

We always seem to feel time flies — I wonder why that is? Well, Q1 2016 is over and I thought I should do a brief review of how I’ve done towards my goals for this year. I had 3 goals for 2016:

1. Run 2 Half Marathons — I’ve been training for the first one which is this coming Sunday. So far, I’ve run 244.6 miles this year, with a record 100 miles in March! I am ready to crush my race on Sunday — target 2hrs 15 mins.
2. Blog More — I haven’t penned as many articles as I hoped but given I basically went from daily blogging in the early days of blogs (I was using moveable type!) to zero…I’d say 11 articles in one quarter isn’t too shabby…
3. Start an Angel Investment Vehicle — A lot of work has gone into this in Q1. My partner and I are finalizing our term sheet and will soon be actively raising money. We’ve also met quite a few startups and think there is a decent pipeline. Really excited to close fundraising, formally announcing, and getting to the hard work of changing our country by helping bring ideas to life!

All in all its been a good quarter. One of the most balanced between work and life I’ve had in a long time.

Wish me luck on the race Sunday. For those of you who don’t run, I really encourage you to start. It requires very little and an easy way to get fit, and clear your mind. I think it also reflects life in many ways (save for another day). Here is a great article from the New York Times on how to start to run. Enjoy!
