Hello 2012

Well hello 2012 . . . glad to see you're here.
Another year has started and this makes me think that I should be setting another goal(s) for the year. I didnt do so well on resolutions last year (as you know) so this year I'm not so sure I want to do resolutions, I dont have anything to really solve. So I'm not . . . I do however have a few goals I'd like to accomplish this year.

Goals:
Run 3 miles in 36 minutes (I'd like this accomplished by July)
Run 2 5K races throughout this year
Reestablish my faith . . . I'm gonna attempt the Bible read through once more

Thats all . . . not gonna stretch myself too thin.

Last year I set up the 1000 mile challenge for myself and I didnt reach it :(, I was suggested to keep working on it, so I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna continue until I hit 1000, then maybe set a new goal. We'll see.

I decided to use a "Couch to 5K" training program to help me get up the endurance to run straight . . .
I decided that since I need visual cues more than just electronic cues I'd make a board that I physically have to use in order to maintain on track . . . so here it is.

This is a 10 week program with 3-4 days of workouts. I wrote each workout on a post it so that i would have to peal it off and take it to the gym with me, that way I'll visually see what I've done and what I need to do.

Each week has its own color, and I'm not going to be too anal about having to do the workouts each week as planned, but it helps with organization and thought process . . . plus I'm sure if its done according to plan then it wont be so hard to increase jogging time.

Each workout again on its own post it and will be removed and taken to the gym with me as a reminder as to what to do that day in order to help the 5k prep process.

Wish me luck!!! :)
