As I entered my yardage in my Fitness Log today, I noticed that we are 20% through the year. I also noticed that I’m about 10 miles behind my goal pace. My new mini goal is to get back on pace by the end of March… I want that Nike draw string bag!!!
I’m finding that having a Goal and the annoying reminder “You'll need to pick up the pace to achieve your goal this year:” is actually working to get me to the pool on days that I would in the past have skipped.
How about you?
I started off GTD 2013 right. My gym opened at 7 AM this morning, and I was there just a couple minutes after 7. I saw that the lights in the pool area were turned off, so I asked the girl at the front desk if the pool was closed. She said it wasn't closed but that she had never opened before, did not know how to turn on the lights in that area, and might call her manager to find out. I thanked her (I truly was grateful that I had not just biked to the gym in subfreezing darkness only to find an unannounced closure) and went to the locker room to change. I stepped out into the black pool area and looked for anything that might be a lightswitch. Found it pretty quickly. I hopped into the pool and enjoyed my first 100 in the eerie glow as the lights and I both warmed up. I'm already at 0.31% progress towards my GTD2013 goal! :banana:
