I've been a little nervous about committing myself to making these goals public, because I often just feel like I'd rather take a nap than do anything else. But I think that some accountability is exactly what I need if I want to achieve my goals. These next 12 weeks are going to pass in exactly the same amount of time whether I work toward my goal or not. I'd rather reach the end of those 12 weeks feeling stronger and healthier. My fitness goal of running 5 kilometers in under 30 minutes is something I've never done before, so that really excites me.
