Achieving my new year's resolution with 24 days to spare

On the last day of 2010, I set a goal to swim 1000 miles this year.  Today I hit it, and became the 14th person to join the USMS 1000 club for 2011.

To put that achievement in perspective:
If you're a runner, it's like running 4,000 miles in a year.
If you're a cyclist, it's like riding 10,000 miles in a year.
If you're a coach potato, it's like watching TV for 24 full days and nights in a year.

Setting goals is a passion of mine.  It's what gets me out of bed.  I usually am juggling about 3-4 swimming goals at a time.  What is your biggest swimming or fitness related goal of the year?  You almost there, or did you already achieve it?
