Setting Goals to Get the Life You Want
Well I have nearly reached the first goal I have set in my journey to jalking for the rest of my life. I know the life I want so have made sure I set goals. But they are no good without a plan. I have planned and this week it went slightly askew right at the last moment. It has not been that easy but as tomorrow looms for the big Lake Macquarie 10.5 kilometer fun run I am a little nervous to say the least. I have had a set back with a swollen ankle and two knees swelling and aching very challengingly.
LESSONS LEARNED THIS WEEK.
1. Adjust the ‘plan’ as necessary to reach the Goal. This week I had to adjust my training schedule to relieve the wear on my ankle and knees. I could have made a choice to give up and forget it as it is too painful or readjust my plans to achieve my goal. I chose to readjust my plan.
I road an indoor bike, yoga, pilates and rested my ankles and knees. Oh and don’t forget the pain killers….
2. Keep focused. It was easy this week to loose momentum on the last run up to tomorrow. But I had to work the mind and remind myself that I have done this run 2 times in the past few weeks and this week will be no different except for the other 1000 + people in my way! I think that will be my greatest challenge. Staying focused on my own run.
Well…the nerves are there, the clothes are ready, the shoes and strapping to go, just have to get the T shirt to prove it this afternoon in my show bag of goodies they give us..
I have set the goal and now I will achieve the first of many in my ‘running’ career…
Check these two books out and see how to set goals to achieve the life you want. Get up get going! You can do what you set your mind to!
