It Keeps you Runnin'

Health
Goal: Run 10 miles before the end of July and August

I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate more objective goals into my workout.  Last year I tried setting a goal of running the mile under a certain time.  I saw no success in this and quickly abandoned the goal.

Tonight I was reading a blog by an author that I just came across.  One of his goals was "Miles Ran."  I thought to myself that this is a very objective way to challenge me to work out.  I have to admit, working out this year has been very difficult.  I have every excuse when I wake up to stay in bed.  The fact of the matter is, I don't care at times.  That concerns me because I need to stay in shape as I'm not getting any younger.  Additionally, I have a little one that is full of energy.

This goal and the ease of tracking excites me.  Granted, ten miles in a month is not that much.  However, I'm probably doing around three, and that is on a good month. It is also my goal that by the end of October, I will be running twenty miles a month.

Here's to my first ten.  Goodbye excuses.
