So today marks the beginning of the final third of 2010.
I say we rock the crap out of it.
I have 3 main fitness/wellness goals for the rest of the year:
Practice yoga postures at least 3 times / week
This just takes discipline. It's a lot easier to lie in bed on non-run mornings than get up to yogify my sleepy muscles. As it gets colder, our toasty duvet is much awesomer at 6 a.m. than a 1/4-inch yoga mat. Except it isn't, so I'll resist its sirenish ways.
Get back down to 135 lbs
That's about a 10-lb loss. Once upon a time, I lost weight in the summer because it felt too hot to eat. Now I gain because it feels too hot to exercise. Lesson: my need for physical activity is becoming more important to maintaining weight than food intake. *squints* Hello, slower metabolism. You won't get me.
Run a half-marathon in under 2 hours
I have a grip on this one already. Runner's World (Aug 2010) has a 10-wk training plan for a sub-2 half-marathon. I begin next Tuesday. Got my rested feet, a shiny new Garmin, and lots of blind, stubborn will power. All set.
What are YOU going to do to rock the third third of 2010?

Awesome goals! I've got some of the same--get back in shape, cut my time on my 5k (not quite up to a 1/2 marathon yet!). Good luck. :)
Awesome, Mary - let's ROCK these goals.
