WALK/JOG FOR LIFE AND HEALTH.

WALK/JOG FOR LIFE AND HEALTH.

I started my diet and exercise program on April 18, 2008. Today 1 year and 10 months later, I am still on it and have not wavered. My visits to the gym at 2:00 AM are still on, and I also walk and jog.

I had set my goal to walk/jog the distance from my home in California to my home in Charlotte, NC. The total distance was 2,426.6 miles. Today (February 17, 2010) I walked the last 5.5 miles and I have walked the actual distance between the two cities and did these final miles in Charlotte, NC since I am currently visiting Calico Tag and Label. I did not originally plan on finishing it in Charlotte, but I guess it was meant to be.

Here are the statistics:

I had fun doing it, felt great, and looked forward to obtaining this goal on a daily basis. I have endured a broken toe along with other aches and pains that tried to keep me down. I had to take few days off to get back on top, but I discovered that if you don’t push yourself, no one else will. It is important to be your own great motivator. When you do not feel like doing something or try to talk yourself out of it, that is the time to get up and do what ever it is you were procrastinating about. Also, do not let others keep you back. You are in charge and you call the shots. Nothing happens until we take the first step. Although some people find it easier to exercise with someone else, I found that doing it alone gave me the chance to “taste the still of the silence” and enjoy the personal victory of reaching my own goal.

I will be starting my next goal to see how long it takes me to walk/jog the same distance back to our California home. My goal is to do it in fewer days and less time. Here comes the 2:00AM gym back on the program! What are your personal fitness goals?
