It
is no secret that my goal-setting skills are somewhat lacking. That I
married someone who is among the mere 3% of super-humans who sets goals then
actually achieves them is yet another baffling gift from the universe.
Despite
my substantial deficiencies in the goal-setting arena, every now and then I
make a plan and try really really hard to stick with it. Like in 2008, when I
planned to run a half marathon every year from then until I turned 40.*
So far I'm sticking (acceptably close) to this goal, and a few weeks ago
ran my fourth annual 13-miler. Except that this time I did it without training.
Not surprisingly, I don't recommend that strategy.
