USAFit/Philly is about more than training for a marathon. An overarching goal of this group is to encourage ative lifestyles which leads to greater fitness and a longer an happier life. While that may sound hokey to some it is absolutely true. Getting active -whether it be walking 5 minutes or running a marathon does wonders for a our mood and it is often our moods that affect our performance in everything we do. A positive attitidue - like Roy's "Attitude of Gratitude" goes a long way toward helping one over the blips and roadblocks that a day my throw at you. Along the way, Phillyfit has given me a whole new set of friends who care and knowing that others care also keeps me going day to day.
So what are your fitness goals this year? If you are a member of USAFit/Philly I invite you to post your goals here. If you are a reader of this blog and not a Phillyfit member; tell us your goals in a comment. Sometimes just writing it down is a step toward making it happen.
My fitness goals for this year:
Run 1000 miles
Go to the gym 2 times a week before work
Work some distance walking/hiking back into my schedule. Since I started running I've neglected this activity that I love.
What are yours?
Can I steal your goals, Paula?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, mine are really very similar. I am shooting for three mid-week days at the gym, before work to run, after work for yoga.
I'd love to get into hiking again and Brian & I really need to because we're going to have some tough hikes ahead of us for our big trip to Glacier NP this summer.
My number one goal is TO HAVE FUN. My goals quantified are as follows

Support anyone I can who is a cyclist, walker/runner or any other sport. This is especially true during sponsored bike rides or races. I have been given a Gift to have had the success and joy of being an accomplished athlete. Encouraging and supporting others is how I want to give back for this awesome Gift.
Finally and most important my goal is to HAVE FUN.
