Current Fitness Goals

Back in June our Pastor, Matthew Brown at Sandals Church encouraged us to have goals for our life. Physical, Emotional and Spiritual goals. Well, back then I had 2 of the 3 ready...

As we approach the fall season, (First day is September 22nd!) I decided to re-evaluate/affirm my goals. Here they are...

Emotional Goal- journal at least 3 days a week (or blog) to give my poor husband a break from listening to any emotional break downs. This has really helped me to clear my thoughts and evaluate what I've been going through this year. (Moving, running, learning more about Christ, letting God lead me where I should serve, live, grow, etc).

Spiritual Goal- read the Word daily. In some way, shape or form, constantly be in God's Word. It's the only way to know what God wants for me (my life, my future, my actions, behaviors, choices, EVERYTHING). I also try to read a non-fiction book a month, I try to make the book a book about living for Christ (In word, deed, behavior)- most of them have been. I am a little behind, I think I'm on book 6 or 7 for the year. Currently I am reading a book by Charles R. Swindoll called, "The Mystery of God's Will."

Physical Goal- Stay in shape obviously. I am doing this by training for another 1/2 marathon race (#5). On Saturday, November 10th I will be running the Santa Barbara International Half Marathon.

There is a possibility of participating in a relay triathlon in October, which would then technically be my 5th 1/2 marathon and SB would be 6. We'll see if Colin and Marty are still up for the swim and bike. It would be in Canyon Lake. Recently found out about a 1/2 marathon in Temecula! Figures, it's the weekend before my SB race.

So, well, yeah, that's what's on the plate these days. I train 6 days a week. I run 3 days, and lift 3 days. I use my Les Mills Pump videos for the lifting days... 55 minutes of lifting! LOVE it!

Happy-Soon-To-Be-Fall everyone! Hoping the weather will start acting like it soon!
