Today is the day I start training for my first 5K! Yippee! Yahoo!!
Things have been nutso around here between hosting guests (which we LOVE to do!!) and school stuff. I wanted to start training on a Monday. To make this work, I need to do the following:
- Think of workout times like they are doctor appointments. I cannot miss them.
- Put myself first a little more often so I get my workouts done.
- Get to bed by 11:00. I am a night owl by nature, and it is not unusual for me to be up until 12:30 or so. I need sleep!
- Eat low fat and more "good" carbs. Plan menus!
- Drink lots of water.
- Don't listen to people who tell me I cannot do this. These comments drain my energy. I need to be able to shrug them off. DadOf3 knows I can do this and that is all that matters!
- Visualize Visualize Visualize!
- DadOf3 wants to get a boat. That means lots of time in my swimsuit this year. Scary thought at this point! (Fear is a great motivator!)
- Possible family wedding and I want to get a pretty new dress!
- Accomplishing this so I can move on to a 10K!
- Schedule workouts depending on the week. I may not be always able to work out 4 times per week. As long as I follow the schedule I make each Monday I am doing well! (Schedule to follow in a different post.
- Clean out the Knight's old room (another post unto itself!) and make room for my treadmill to unfold! I need to be able to work out on weekends. I could run outside too but the thought of running in front of my neighbors does not sound fun at this point.
- This is a good, healthy goal! Stick to it!
