What Are Your 2009 Fitness Resolutions? [Ask The Readers]

I prefer to think of my yearly fitness resolutions as goals rather than resolutions, since I'm not trying to change habits as much as I am setting a goal I'd like to accomplish in the upcoming year. That said, the distinction between a goal and a resolution is insignificant when the end is the same—we either want to get in better shape or stay in shape.
In 2006 and 2007, I ran marathons to fulfill my fitness goals (in Chicago and San Francisco, respectively)—after which I described how to hack a marathon to make it as stress-free and painless as possible. (I'm using "painless" loosely, considering the 26.2 miles involved.)

I took 2008 off (lazy me), but I'm back at it in 2009. My fitness goal/resolution for this year: To do 100 pushups. To this end, I've started following the previously mentioned One Hundred Push Ups plan, which promises to take you from 0-100 push ups in six weeks. I'm a week-and-a-half in, and so far I'm happy with the program and my progress. Six weeks may sound like a weak commitment for an '09 goal, but I also jog regularly, and I'm hoping to repeat the plan at least twice over the course of the year to stay in shape.
Now that you all know about my fitness goal for 2009, we want to hear about your 2009 fitness resolutions. Hit us up with your plans for getting or staying in shape in '09 in the comments.
