Everyone should have something to aim for when it comes to health and fitness. Goals can be big, small... whatever works for you. Whatever drives you to do it consistently and with heart!
I have recently embarked on a personal journey. A goal of mine for the past year or so has been to (at some point in my life) participate in a half marathon. My goal is to complete the 21.1km race (a good time would just be a bonus). Not too long ago, I decided to make this goal a reality for myself this October at the Picton Marathon. I have always thought that those who have completed a half marathon (or full marathon) have accomplished something great.
I am excited and I am two runs away from completing my first week of training. I have a 16 week training program I will be doing prior to race day. My confidence is high in regards to finishing the run and being able to do it, as I enjoy running and have done long distances before (14km being the longest). But my worry is my recovery afterwards. As a fitness professional, I recognize the need for your body to adapt to the activity's needs. So with the help of one of my fellow trainers at work, Janet - who is a regular runner and runs the 'learn to run' program at work - I am preparing my body so recovery can be faster and with more ease. :o)
Keep an eye on my blog for updates on my training, my experiences throughout and my thoughts during my journey toward my goal. :o)
