Friday's workout:
This challenge starts with commitment. To prepare for your next "fitness challenge" you'll need to set your goals. Go back to what you wrote down for your destination, and remember why you accepted the challenge and what you want to accomplish by the last day of the 10 week challenge. Now make your bench marks specific and tangible, but realistic and acheivable.
Set your long term goals = the big picture outcomes
Example: I will complete every planned workout each week of the challenge
Set your midterm goals = name a date
Example: On the 30th day of next month, I will not have missed a single workout
Set your short term goals = plan your actions
Example: Tomorrow I will make my workout a priority by doing it early in the day."

I will be at PLC three days of every week except for one (Thanksgiving) throughout the Challenge. I will also walk/run the three days of each week. I will eliminate my intake of wine throughout this Challenge.
I will get through Thanksgiving week not missing a beat. I will watch my food intake and workout as normal except it will be in Colorado.
I will eat healthy tonight at the Bonefish Grill.

My short term goals are to try to not let my work travel derail me. I am very dedicated to working out when I am home and it is easier to eat better, but when I travel for work, I have a hard time with crazy airport delays, bad work-out equipment at hotels, etc.
This week I have to travel on Sunday and I get back on Tuesday. I have a girlfriend in St. Louis that I may get to go running with and I am looking forward to that. Tonight, I am going out with girlfriends to a Mexican restaurant. I am going to chew gum to keep myself from eating chips.
My longer term goal is to get back to where I can run a half marathon. I have run in 3 in the past year and I tore my lateral meniscus in April, had surgery in June. I am just now getting to where I can run in intervals where it does not hurt. My long term goal is to run a half in the spring and a full by next year. I want my first full marathon to be the KC Marathon.
Great goals everyone!!
