88/365 Goal Setting: Register for a Race

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

I love planners, calendars, and organizers of any kind. I love knowing when events are happening and jotting them down onto my calendar. An important thing about goal setting is establishing a concrete date for when you are to accomplish said goal. My friend Miesha has done this brilliantly in preparation for her wedding.

Running is an excellent exercise for your cardiovascular system, core, legs, arms, you name it, running is probably good for it. However, not all of us enjoy running even though we know we could benefit from it. In fact, some of us hate it. For those of you that this applies to, consider registering for a race or two. I'm not suggesting going for a half or full marathon but, something shorter like a 5k or 8k, something within your grasp.

Races often have a registration fee. This should create an incentive for you to train for the race other than the pride of saying that you completed a race. Races are held throughout the year all over the country. This site will give you listings of any going on in your area.

In health,

Lauren
