MY GOALS

I was an avid runner thirty years ago, but college and work took their toll on me. To rectify this situation, I have devised some general goals and some specific goals. My two general goals are: 1) lose weight, and 2) improve my physical fitness. 

I always wanted to run a marathon, but I never attempted it when I was in my youth. I ran in a few half-marathons, but never the full 26.2 miles. My first specific goal is to complete a marathon. While I'm not terribly concerned about the time it takes me, I think a goal of 5 hours, 30 minutes is reasonable and I'd be quite pleased with a sub-5-hour time. Really, simply a completion is the #1 goal. 

My second specific goal is to get my weight below 200 lbs., preferably by the end of 2009. I'll settle for the end of 2010 if I need to.

I plan to use only Wii Fit for my day-to-day workouts, only shifting way for road races.
