Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian and sub-2:12 marathoner

Let's Get Fired Up!

I think that setting goals is a really important part of staying motivated. I'm inserting some links to some articles from a website called sparkpeople that has a lot of good materials for staying on track.

Sit down in the next few days and really think about why you signed up for this. What are you hoping to get out of it. Make some goals for yourself. I think it's important to write them down and put them somewhere that you see them everyday...make it big enough so it's hard to ignore.

I'm going to post my goals here because I seem to be more successful at achieving things when I tell people about what I'm trying to do. If you don't want to post your goals you definitely don't have to, but I'm hoping that we can help each other motivate to achieve our goals and congratulate each other when we do.

The articles

Sharing is Achieving


Goal Buddies - that's you girls.

Goals That Help, Goals That Hurt

Goal Tracking - Hopefully the Blog will help us with this

Spread the Spark - I really like this article. I think it's where there is the most opportunity to really have fun with this.

Medium Term Goals

Weight Loss as a Team Effort
- I know a lot of you aren't here to lose weight. I am. If it doesn't apply to don't take offence.

Health Challenges - This article talks about challenging one another to do something healthy for a set amount of time. Runnerika - I appoint you to think of the first challenge. We can make it like tag so we all get some responsibility.

That's it. Sorry for the long post. Let's start seeing some goals. And good news, it supposed to cool off in Missoula this weekend. Just in time for your first Fast Girl workout.
