My goals

This week in our run for God we are suppose to start a journal. I for one have started one many times over the years but been able to stick with it. This has happened with other things in my life before...I have started baby blankets, cross stitching, sewing, journaling, and I'm sure other things. So why am I running? What are my goals? I for one want to stick with something, I am so thankful to have my group at church to encourage me and hold me accountable. If I were doing this on my own I don't know that I would have stuck with it but I know that if I don't run during the week I won't be able to keep up.

I also had labs done recently and my cholesterol is very high for me just to be 25. I don't want to be med dependent at my age so I guess I want to get healthier as well. 

And since having kids I have gained weight I don't have a number in mind but I would like to look and feel better...running does this almost instantly...I come home and sit down and I am tired but I know that if I just get up and run I will feel better. So I want to lose weight and have more energy.

I also want to encourage my children to get active! 

And more than anything I wanted to prove to myself that even though I think I am so busy all the time I do have time if I just make it. Time for running and time for God...often these two overlap. While running I listen to Christian music and my mind gets a chance to focus on Him, what He has made and what He has done for me. I enjoy and even look forward to these mins with God!

It is so great to see where I have come from just one short month ago!
