Goals... and stuff?

Is it ironic that I began this blog on the week that I have done very little running? Probably. I'll be getting back into my running groove soon - just not today. I'm beginning to feel a lot better, but the low fever is hanging around. It's starting to feel like it's that annoying coworker that clings to you, telling you every lengthy story in minuscule details, even when you give them all the appropriate signals to "uhm, back off". Did you hear me, fever? Back off!

Surprisingly, the lack of exercise hasn't really bothered me - until today.. I am no longer a sick person on the couch trying to feel better. Nope, I have transformed into a blob. Did anyone call for a truffle shuffle? Because I feel like I could adequately preform one right now. Oh Chunk, you're hilarious....

Running is usually my thinking time (or zoning out time...) so with the absence of running these past few days I've decided to channel my thoughts and come up with goals for this year. These are not like a New Years resolution (which I may or may not have made this year... I can't remember already. See how effective resolutions are?). These goals will be obtainable and something I can try to work on each week. Drum roll please?! *bada bada bada*


Numero Uno: ENJOY running. That may mean running more trails, or continuing to just leave the watch at home. I've gotten way too caught up in times before, and no matter how a race or daily run goes, I am going to work towards accepting it and enjoying the fact that I am blessed enough to be ABLE get out there and do it! Yeah.


2: Work to be the healthiest person I can be. That means eating well, finding a balance between enough, too much, and too little, build up my overall fitness, and work towards a good body image (that may be the hardest one...). And this goal will be positive. No negative talk in healthy land!




And the final one: Continue to bike to work more. If we end up moving, who knows how realistic this will be. But for now, I would enjoy becoming less car-dependent. And hey, that would work toward my healthy "overall fitness" goal. Sweeeeeet.



Headache is brewing. Time to go drink some more green tea, read a bit, and then probably sleep. That sounds awesome.
