For awhile now, I have seen ads for the races that are for "breast cancer awareness" and different ones like that and I have wanted to do it but I have failed at training, signing up for it or anything. So I want to make this one of my goals that I do this year is be a part of a race. My only challenge that I currently have is that the race that I would want to do is the same weekend as Corrine's boot camp. :) So we will see how things go, the closer they come but I think with the training of Corrine and more that I will be able to be ready if I don't do the boot camp. :)

I am also looking ahead, what do I want to do next year, where do I want to be next year this time?

I wrote my sister and told her that we need to do Bloomsday (www.bloomsdayrun.org). We did this 3 years in a row back when I was younger and we always had fun. We didn't run the whole way but we would walk, jog and we are both fast walkers so it was always a good little clip :) I told her that we should make it a girls weekend. Head over, get there on Friday night, hang out Saturday, walk/ jog the Bloomsday race (12k=7.46 miles) then rest up on Monday together. :) We had one weekend back when I was younger and it was our special little thing, we would count on every year so I want to get it back in our lives and its something healthy for us to do :)

I think that if I have these type of things in front of me, a race or something I can concentrate on a goal in mind, a deadline, something to achieve and along the way loose some weight as well.

This years goals for now:
- Breast cancer awareness race (if not in TN)
- Corrine's Boot camp

Next year goals that I have in mind today:
- Bloomsday Run (First weekend in May, so it will be May 4th, 2008)
- Breast Cancer Awareness (usually Sept/ October)

Hopefully with these goals in mind, I will stay focused. Off to get the podcast for Couch to 5k on my ipod! :)

Oh before I go, here there is an awesome link on goals that my trainer shared with me, take some time and read it, You will be happy you did. :)

A quote from the page: "Writing goals and plans down on paper is the first step towards achieving them. As Tony Robbins says, “If you talk about it, it’s a dream, if you envision it, it’s possible, but if you schedule it, it’s real.” when every part of your fitness and nutrition program is put into writing, this ONE discipline alone has the potential to literally skyrocket your results…"
