Initial Thoughts

So, this is the beginning of my personal improvement assignment for PM562.

The things I've decided to try to accomplish during the course of this semester include:
  1. Register and participate in the 2011 LA Marathon.
  2. Lose 10 lbs by the end of the semster, which would be April 29? (last day of instruction).
The first one seems easy enough...well, I mean the registration part. I think some mental preparation will certainly be necessary, in addition to a disciplined approach to physical conditioning for the event. I will need to think, act, eat, and train like a marathon runner. It makes sense that the first goal and its success will possibly help contribute to achieving the second goal.

I don't think anybody would disagree with the idea that behavior change can be a difficult endeavor. I will need to make some changes during the course of this semester to help achieve these goals too.

This isn't really a behavioral change, but my running shoes are fairly worn out, so I got a fresh new pair for my training :)
