"You have to wonder at times what you're doing out there. Over the years, I've given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement." -Steve Prefontaine

Mai Hana: Walking Day Three/Long and Short Term Goals

I walked around and around and around and around my condo complex today for half an hour because by the time I got home, it was too late to be walking alone around my neighborhood.

I decided to walk in the evening to test it out. The first day, I walked in the afternoon and yesterday I walked in the morning so I wanted to walk at night to see what I perfered. I just wish I didn't come home so late but what can I do now, right? lol

I walked a mile and a half in thirty minuets. Oh, man! It got prettty boring seeing the same thing over and over and over and over. It made me slow down a bit.

Tomorrow, I'm planning on starting two half hour walks a day up until I start Couch to 5k on Monday!  I'm super duper excited! I'm just that much closer from getting the Coast to Coast medal everytime I go out to walk! Which brings me to my other topic of my entry. Long and short term goals.

My short term goal is to be able to run the Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving Day. If I can find a local 5k to run right after I finish C25K, I'll do that as well!

My long term goal, like I said before, is to earn the Coast to Coast medal for running a Disneyland half marathon and a Walt Disney World half or full marathon with in the same year. I'm planning on doing this in 2014.

My ultimate goal is to run the Goofy's race and a half challenge. Like the name implies, you run a half marathon one day and a full the next day. 39.3 miles total! Man, what an accomplishment it would be if I actually ran that!

Anywho, I'm going to head to bed now so I can rest up for my early morning walk!

TTFN!
Tata for now!
