Waiting Casually

So I’ve wanted to talk about this since I started but didn’t want to jinx myself. Now that I’m over 80% of the way to my goal though, I think it’s safe.

At the start of the year I set the goal that by the end of March I had to run 100 miles. That might not seem like a lot (run a little over a mile a day…), but that would be underestimating the power of my laziness. I’d challenge you to a laziness match, but really, that seems like a lot of effort and it would detract from me molding my couch cushion in the shape of my ass. Also, I failed at this goal twice already last year, so I knew that I’d really have to want it this time.

The good news is that I just passed 80 miles over the weekend! I probably only need to run six more times to meet my goal by March 31. Of course, I’d like to pass that mark by as much as possible, so hopefully I don’t puss out and run more than that in the next two weeks.

The ultimate goal of course is to get rid of my spare tire. If I met this goal I would up the goal to 120 miles in Q2 and so on until… until… I was healthy! So I’m also trying to eat better too and that’s going well. The eating. It’s the drinking I seem to have a problem with. And I’m not talking about soda.

As I’ve already established that I have no will power, I think the only option I have available is to rid the house of all temptation. But that’s a problem though, because I’m also not a big fan of waste and so want to make sure what beer we have in the fridge isn’t wasted… Bad problem to have, I know.

Anyway, wish me luck on the final stretch. What are your current goals?
