2019 Goals
Every year I try to make a goal, and every year I fail in accomplishing that goal. I have spent years struggling with my weight, seasonal depression, asthma, and simply not making time for movement. It is much easier for me to help others and give support than it is for me to support myself. But my husband is my biggest supporter of all and is there for me no matter what.
Late in 2018 my life changed. My husband asked me to go back to see my doctor in Silver Spring, MD. I was put on a weight loss program and we found out I have some food addictions and some emotional eating happening. But working with my doctor, I've been able to lose weight, change my diet, and make exercise part of my life. I am now confident, getting stronger, and feel I am able to make a goal and really stick to the goal. With my husband at my side, I know I can.
My goal for 2019 is to train to finish the runDisney Goofy Challenge in January 2020!! The Goofy Challenge is running the Half Marathon on Saturday, and the full Marathon on Sunday of the Disney Marathon Weekend. And 2020 is the 15th Anniversary of the Goofy Challenge!! runDisney normally does bigger and unique medals for Anniversary years. (And no, I have never once had a desire to do Dopey. I just don't want to do it. So Goofy it is!)
I had attempted the Goofy Challenge in 2015. But, at mile 11 of the half marathon, I had injured myself. I was able to finish the Half Marathon, but no way I could even start the full. I could not walk without pain. So this will be my Redemption Run!!
I have a full schedule of running in 2019 already. You can find it under the Running in 2019 page in my blog. I plan to keep this momentum I have right now. I feel so much better than before, even with the beginning of osteoarthritis. It feels good to work out. I *want* to work out and run. I *want* to eat healthier. I don't think I have felt this good since we left Hawaii.
So there we go! Goofy Joy in 2020!! So help keep me accountable as I take this journey to my redemption run!!!
