So here's our goal: Exercise 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Seems very doable, and it is. The twist? Every day missed we have to put a dollar in a jar, store it away, and every 3 months the person with the most missed days pays up.
These first 3 months I've rocked it, yet I can do better, which is why I decided to begin a blog about the exercise I participate in. I want to share what has worked for me, what hasn't and hopefully I'll be able to improve my exercise to not only be accomplished, but also more effective.
I'm also planning on running Bloomsday, http://www.bloomsdayrun.org/, and I WILL run the entire distance this year, which I have yet to do. Along with that I'm doing the Northwest Run for Epilepsy 2012, http://www.epilepsynw.org/efnw-slider-information/northwest-run-walk-for-epilepsy. And I'm in the process of training for a half-marathon, which there are a lot to choose from, so input on which ones are a thumbs up or thumbs down (preferably in the NW) would be welcomed.
I talked to someone who used to run marathons, climb mountains, bike the olympic peninsula and is now an avid swimmer and the advice she gave me was in reference to a picture.
The message that she had to share about it impacted me because of it's simplicity: the turtle didn't get on the fencepost by itself.
