It's great that you're starting your own challenge too, I wish you every success.
However, we have different approaches to this. I will almost exclusively play at the cash game tables because I'm simply better there than in tournaments, and the variance isn't quite as high either.
My main goal is definitely to move up to the NL50 tables this year, but to do that I want to have a bankroll of $1,000.-
On Sundays, however, I've decided to always spend a day playing tournaments. I just hope I don't lose too much of what I've won in cash games before.
But maybe I'll get lucky and manage a deep run sometime, who knows?
I've already earned a $109 ticket with the Power Path promotions, and I still have three $55 step 4 tickets, so maybe I can use them to earn another $109 ticket.
I wish you continued success.

My prediction: You'll smash that goal and be at NL50 sooner than you think.
Tournaments:
I hear you. Variance is high. Eventually I'll work in some cash games. Good move with mixing some tournament play in with your cash play. It only takes one bink to create a very healthy bankroll. Great job with winning those tickets and good luck with them. The Power Path series is a good one. I'll eventually be in that player pool.
