Fencing II and Getting Back on Track II

Wow, what a long weekend. i will be glad to go back to work for one reason, i will get a rest. i put in about 24 hours over my 3 day weekend building a fence and fixing my dog kennels. Sunday morning i was so sore i could barely get out of bed. this morning i had to get up early again to try and finish the fence, i finished as much as i could, just one minor thing left to do. glad to get that out of the way.

i did not have a chance all weekend to get my 7 miler in so i started week 3 over again. another 3 miles today. i did it in 29min and 23 sec. which is a pace of about 9.48min/mile, not my best but i will take it considering how tired i was today. i did have to fight through a little knee stiffness, a little lower back pain, and some side pain, but i made it.

one of my favorite all time quotes is this (once again don't know who said it) "even if you are on the right track you will still get ran over if you just sit there. i will tie this in to another goal obtaining method i often use: to reach a goal you only have to know 3 things.
1)where you are: this is very important, even if you are not trying to reach a goal. be honest with yourself and know where you stand. if you don't know where you are, call me i can tell you, you are lost. when you are lost even if you have a map you can't get to where you want because you don't know where you are starting from.
2)where do you want to be: this is important because to obtain a goal you must know what the goal is. and so you need to know where you are starting so you can set progressive goals. if you do not have anywhere to go, where you are better be a pretty good place.
3)how to get from a to b: this is pretty important too. this is your map. so, if you know where you want to be and how to get there from where you are, you can do anything. now, isn't that simple.

however, even if you know all 3 you have to put the plan in motion, and if you are setting lofty goals you better get ready to get out of your comfort zone. if your goals are not getting you out of your comfort zone, you should set higher goals, push yourself a little. but, extrapolating from the quote, if you know a,b, and c but don't take action to get to c, someone else will be achieving your goal and you will be jealous. so, set Christ-centered, lofty goals and let Christ take you there.
