Spring has sprung.....time to set a few new goals

Look what I found outside my office window...

Do you see it?  No?  Come closer...

BUZZZZZ!  Spring has officially sprung!  So why do I feel so tired?  Worn down?  Exhausted?  Dead to the world?  This is supposed to be a time of rejuvenation & rejoicing.  I feel like crawling under a rock to hibernate a bit more.  I'm not ready.  I thought I was.  I even said I was, but I'm not. 

That being said, it's time for me to get off my rump & set some new goals to re-motivate myself.  I'm got a few brewing in my head.  I'm pretty big on setting three seasonal goals.  I have no idea why.  It works for me, so I just roll with it.  Here are my three spring goals:

1.  New running goals are in the works.  I have to take time off from spring events in order for my knee to get better (no Flying Pig for me this year).  Since I cannot participate in any spring events, I'm going to focus on form.  Smaller doses of running to perfect the form.  Once the form is where it needs to be, fewer injuries will pop up.

2.  I'm still working on dropping a few more pounds, or at least that's what I keep telling myself. (It will only make the running goals easier for me!).  I've given myself all of 2010 to get from point A to point B.  I'm happy where I'm at right now.  My body shape is very different even though my weight hasn't changed much.  Again, I'm happy with what's going on no matter what.  I think all of the running has toned me up a bit more, made me stronger, for sure changed my endurance level.  I'll say I'm going to drop a few more pounds, but if all that happens is more of what has already happened....I'm more than OK with that.  Sometimes I think we tend to get one thing confused with another.  Or just not know what we really want to begin with which makes it difficult to put into words for others to read.  So for now, dropping a few pounds is what I'll call it.  What I really might mean is becoming more fit.  Who knows.

3.  I started seeing a physical therapist a couple of months ago (for my knee), and he has be staying very busy with numerous strengthening exercises.  Who knew strong hips were needed to correct a knee issue?  A good physical therapist.  That's who.  So much of my focus will be spent going in the direction of becoming stronger.  I can't say I see it yet.  It will come with time.  Once all of this knee business is approved, checked off the list, and under control....I'll start working with weights at the gym. 

Looking back on what I just wrote, I noticed it's mainly all about exercise. Interesting considering how much I hate the stuff.  Hmph.

What are your spring goals????  I would love to hear them! So spill it.
