Daily Post: Motivation

Since I can only control so much in life, which is an awful thing for a control freak to understand. I'm going to have two goals each day.

The first one is to run every day. I was so good about this past year until I was injured. Maybe I'll be able to do the Jingle Bell 5k this year? Either way, I'm going to go at least a mile every day. Rain or shine or using the elliptical.  So far I've been dragging a greyhound with me each morning. My distance has expanded enough that Rainy can't really go the distance. Sunshine is so over it! I had to cut things short today. Guess I'm heading out solo tomorrow. Tough having lazy greyhounds. I should take our husky visitor out with me each morning, but my run time has been my peaceful alone time. Not sure I want to ruin it.

The second goal is to write at least a little bit every day. I'm going to use the Daily Post to help with writing ideas. Today I'm only supposed to write for 10 minutes. Not sure what to do with my extra time, but maybe I'll jump on the elliptical to make up for that short run. Looks like my 10 minutes is up!

  1. My goal is just to get 10,000 steps in every day. I am doing a lot of walking. I may start trying to run in the spring, but right now I'm not quite there. Fortunately, Flattery will hound me to go. Bunny likes to be included, but she is not the one who is going to pester me to get off the couch! lol Good luck with your goals! You can do it!

  2. I can't even imagine what 10, 000 steps would look like. I run at the speed of a slug. But when I start listening to people telling me how to get faster, I end up with injuries. So I will happily be the slug runner. Maybe next year I'll be fit enough to go turtle speed. :-)

    Just start out slow if you do run. The girls do a trot/walk to stay next to me. They think I'm pathetic.
