My trip to Jamaica reminded me that I am a very goal oriented person. Jamaica was a great motivation for going to the Y every day and eating better. Since coming back from Jamaica, life has been crazy, and I have had a hard time maintaining a consistent exercise schedule. July was an ok exercise month and I've been doing well this month, too. Now, I have two new goals to help motivate me. My short term goal is a trip to the beach in September and my long term goal is doing a half marathon in April. With these two goals, I'm seeing more intensity in my workout and I've started trying something I said I'd never do: I've added some running into my evening workout. Tonight I ran farther than I ever have and I added hills into my running. There are some great hills in my neighborhood and I ran them tonight multiple times. I hope that in a couple of months I can read back over this blog and think, "Wow, I've come a long way as a runner since I wrote that blog." I hope you're having great weather where you are and get out and enjoy it.

Way to go with your running! Keep it up! I was just talking to Robert about becoming a runner which I have never been good at. If I was closer, I'd run with you! Maybe we can keep each other accountable via the distance anyway!
This is great! Please take me with you to the beach! I need a vacation! Miss ya and hope we can get together soon. Email me a day that would be good for you!
