A new goal
November 25th, 2009 by Larry D. Burton
Weight Watchers is going good. I’m staying really close to the plan but I could do better. I’m down over six pounds overall. Yeah, that’s slow weight loss but that’s what I’m expecting. I figure as long as my weight continues to trend down I’m not in a huge hurry.
Altering my eating habits has had one good effect so far. I seem to have more energy. I’m walking more and have even began mixing a little running in with the walks. My knee is getting stronger and I have decided that I need to go ahead and move from just walking to running and building on my distance.
In fact, I’ve set a goal for myself. In five years and a few months I’ll be 60. I intend to run a marathon then. I’m not counting out running one before then but running a marathon a 60 after the last 25 years of being a couch potato seems to be a good goal.
Other small goals, fitness wise, are the 100 pushups, 200 situps and 200 squats programs. All three are six month goals. If I’m going to get old I’m going to do it healthy.
