Good luck on your goals and adventure. I ran a marathon a very long time ago and have no desire to again but I have set my goal for a mini triathlon. I have a long way to go to get in shape enough to do it but Ill make it.

I have really been struggling with my eating, my workouts, and my attitude. And it shows in my body right now. I feel like a slug. My energy levels are down, my weight is up, and my moods are all over the place. But that ends now. (Actually, it ended last night when I made myself go on a late night, 6 mile run as penance for being a crabby jerk all day.)

On October 30th, I will be in Washington, DC, running the Marine Corps Marathon. It will be the most physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging thing I have ever done. And make no mistake. I WILL finish every single step of that event.

To do that, I need to get myself back on track. And it starts with specific goals and a plan of action.

October Goals: 1500 fitness minutes, healthy eating, run a marathon
Action Plan: Run 3x week and bike 2x week, track my eating, and meditate for focus

That's my plan for October. What's yours?
