What Do You Want to Accomplish?

You hear about "goal setting" all of the time in some form, whether that be goal times, life goals, field goals...just goals.  Different things motivate different people.  Many people (especially athletes) are goal driven...so with that said what are your goals?  You don't have to share them with us, or share them with anyone, but it's not a bad idea to write them down and to take a look a them every once in a while. 

Writing the goals down is one step, but having a plan to accomplish them is an even bigger piece to the puzzle.  Basically within large goals, there are smaller ones to hit along the way.  If you're not a runner and want to eventually run a marathon shouldn't you probably run a half marathon first?

Before the December Running Challenge starts tomorrow take a step back and think about what it's going to take to accomplish this goal.  Are you going to have to set your alarm clock 30 minutes earlier, go to bed 30 minutes later, run during lunch, run to the grocery store to get something and then run home...it all counts.  Everyone has a little time in their day to get that run in...are you up for it?

The breakdown of the challenge is in yesterday's post, if you want more details let us know (endureitclub@gmail.com) and we'd be happy to share with you.

If you need a little pick me up, or reason to get out the door...this usually seems to help.  Warning if you're offended easily I might not watch it...
