I set a goal..... and blah blah blah

They always say that when you set a goal you should do two things.  First write it down on paper.  Second tell someone else your goal.  I'm not sure if blogging counts as writing it down on paper, but facebook certainly counts as telling someone.  It is funny how our brains work.  I can tell myself that I am going  to run 100 miles in the month of March (momentary happy dance).  But, if I only tell myself and I don't achieve that goal then I am the only one that knows thereby living in my own disappointment but not having to face the facts with anyone else.  Not that any of my friends or family are going to berate me for missing my goal by a mile or two....that is not the point.  There is something about telling your friends that you are going to do something that makes you, well me anyway, much more inclined to follow through.  So it's on facebook... and it is on here as well that my goal for the month of April is 115 miles and to run a new route or location once a week.  Completely achieveable but I will have to work at it.  So, I ask you all my friends and family.... hold me accountable.  Please ask me how many miles I ran or where I ran today.  I love to talk about it with people who want to know.  But, if I am talking and it sounds like blah blah blah to you.... well then you have my permission to tell me to shut it.  Now.... how am I going to get all the other stuff done this month.... hmmmmm.... oh well.  Procrastinate I say.
