I have heard that it is better to set a goal...not an unrealistic one..but to set one! Make sure you that have something to strive for, something to keep you motivated to improve yourself or to improve the things around you!
We are approaching the season that I LOVE to do 5K's! I would never think that the words I LOVE 5K's would ever come out of my mouth! :o) I do have one thing though..I do them in the fall! There are some good ones in the summer...but I just can't bring myself to do them in the summer just yet!
In all of this journey that I have been traveling on, I have different friends who have challenged me along the way to keep going! There are days that I would have already thrown in the towel and wave the white flag of surrender. But along comes an encouraging word or something that will catch my attention and really just spur me on!
Well this time is like no other! I am highly considering doing my first ever 1/2 marathon! My friend has told me that doing a 1/2 marathon is like doing a 5K with a 10 mile chaser!! LOL...It's the 10 miles that get me! I am confident that I can do a 5K! I have done a few!...so I have started to put myself on a training schedule..from now until November!
The first week my goal was 15 miles..I managed to go over just a little! This week...it so at least make it 13 miles with an improved time! So little by little I am getting inspired and encouraged to see what is going to happen with this!
So I challenge each of you...find something that will encourage you to get moving..where it is to the end of your driveway...a walk down the road...a walk around the block...a mile, a 5K a 1/2 marathon or for those that already do a 1/2 how about a whole marathon (which my friend with the 10 mile chaser comment is planning on doing)...just do something good for yourself!
Don't let life pass you by because you can't do something...a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step!
Keep on keeping on!
