Time flies...

Interesting... It's December 1st... funny how time flies.  This year went by QUICK! And in pondering that,  I realized that with days, weeks, months going by so quickly,  that must mean we are all terribly busy right ?  And because we get so busy it's easy to make an excuse to NOT get out and move right ?  Hmmmm... 

"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement."   - Steve Prefontaine

Please take out "running" and insert whatever VERB you would like,  walking, jogging, weight training, taking the stairs, not eating that 3rd piece of pizza, whatever... 

Self satisfaction and sense of achievement.  Interesting.  Since I'm not a competitive girl, this makes sense to me.  I don't care about times, or who is ahead of or behind me,  I care about the act of COMPLETING a goal.  And that gives me both self satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

The ONLY problem I seem to have... I keep setting freakin' goals that are slightly insane for someone completely un-athletic !  Half marathons, summitting mountains, 69 flights of stairs, Olympic distance triathlons... sheesh... maybe I should stick with something easier...   nah... go big or go home...
