Back to the streets

Still not sure what I want to do for a fitness plan, so yesterday morning it was back to the streets for a run.

4:55 alarm, out the door shortly afterwards. This will sound strange, but it was a "shorter" run - about 2 1/4 miles. The shin splints that started to appear during my last week of hard training are still lurking so I need to be careful with what I do over the next week or so.

Several projects sitting right in front of me to wrap up in the next couple days. A paper for my strategic management class, hauling away a bunch of "yard debris" (sticks, pulled weeds, etc), completeing the action plan for my new sales territory, setting up the robotics team fundraising campaign, and finishing my taxes. Yes, I took an extension and still need to wrap them up. (Planning ahead for next year, I'm going to take a couple days off in March and complete the taxes and FAFSA on time!)

I also need to spend some more time with my goal book and really roll out a plan. The Ziglar/Godin plan covers 12 weeks, so if I start on Sunday documenting everything in the book (and some here) that will bring me right up to Christmas and only a week away from the end of the 100 Days Challenge.

The objective is to pick just four goals and do something everyday to make progress on those four. I'm pretty sure I know what I'll be choosing, but I don't want to jump ahead in the process.

Wow - I do have a lot going on, but I know that as I knock each item out I feel a sense of accomplishment; and thats always good.

Inertia

Why is it so hard to start something, let alone finish it ?

I'm doing a little better diet-wise, but there are four unfinished books next to my bed - and I started a fifth. Exercise - nothing, but I know I should. One of these days.

Did some cleaning / purging of stuff in the basement, but there is a long way to go. The plan is to turn some of that into cash - Maybe some on ebay, some craigslist, some giveaway to friends or charity.

The big thing that I've committed to is running (or jogging, or walking quickly) a 5K in September. Several months ago I read about a "Couch to 5K" program on someones blog and have looked at the info a few times. Well now I'm committed. The plan is to have my boys do it with me - they could handle getting some exercise into their routine too. We start the week of July 5th - stayed tuned for stories of blisters and pain.
