Here we are almost in March. How is your year going? Are you making progress on those goals you set in the beginning of 2019? 

If you are — awesome. Keep up the good work! And if you’ve stalled, lost steam or haven’t made any progress at all, let me tell you two things:  

1. You’re not alone.

2. Don’t give up now!

I’ve seen this with many people — friends, family, clients, and myself: we set an intention, take action and start working toward our goal, and then all of a sudden something happens to halt our progress.

A few months back, I set a new intention to get into a routine of self care and physical fitness. I’ve found that I have the best results when I have an event or competition to train for and to look forward to. My running partners and I — the Three Amigo’s Runners Club — as we like to call ourselves, agreed to run an upcoming half marathon in NYC together.

Shortly thereafter, one of my buddies was also afforded the opportunity to run the Boston Marathon. To support him, the third amigo and I decided we wanted to up our game too. So I started thinking about what kind of competition I could do to really challenge myself.
