Goals

I am training for a marathon. This is the picture of me and several running partners I have with the running club I started. On this day I was at the 1/2 way point to reaching the overall goal of 26.2 miles. This is the just before the Hospital Hill 1/2 marathon....it is 5:30 a.m. I look really tired.

I just wonder how many women keep saying to themselves..."on Monday I am going to start my new diet and exercise program, wake up and it is Monday, and they do not have a plan. Reaching a goal always takes a plan. Good plans require lots of thought, baby steps ( like Bob would say), and required measures to rewarding yourself along the way.

Being a trainer, I wrote my own marathon training plan (with the advisement of an experienced marathoner friend). After I wrote the plan,however, I had to revise it 3 times. You see, I looked at my calender and realized that my baby steps (long runs) were not going to fit my summer lifestyle/schedule. Instead of feeling defeat and giving up my goal, I just readjusted my plan. This is the most cruicial part of staying focused: knowing when to take a step back and say this is not realistic at the moment, I must refocus, but still keep a FORWARD MOTION toward my ultimate goal.

Do you have a goal? Have you giving up on it? In the fall I will be teaching a goal oriented class for moms of all ages called Burn Mama Burn. I am super excited about it. Check out the details at BurnMamaBurn.blogspot.com or see below for information
