I’m running a 5k in five weeks. Training starts tomorrow. I have been trying to get back into running, but to no avail. I will run everyday for two or three weeks, then get busy and stop for a week or two, at which point I’ve lost the base I’ve started to build up.

This time I have a concrete goal. I have already signed up for a 5k and have a motivation partner at work. We are going to check in with each other everyday about how our training is going.

I know I could run a 5k today, but I would be slow. The real impetus behind this goal is to get me to run for 5 weeks straight without quitting. That will be a huge feat for me.

I’m having a hard time being consistent about this goal. A few times this week, I pushed snooze on the alarm clock until I absolutely had to get up. I need to start fresh this week.

The week I was successful, I put my alarm clock across the room and forced myself to go to the bathroom instead of back into bed.

Instead of feeling hungover all weekend, I went hiking and got lots of things done. I went to the bar Fri night but sipped slowly and only had a couple drinks.

My desire to binge drink had diminished greatly. I am on my way.
