There’s something about writing down a goal, and then sharing it with the world.
Public commitment leads to public accountability, which (hopefully) leads to greater follow through.
A few of my friends are committing to run a half marathon, and I’m joining them. My goal is to complete one before the middle of the year.
I have friends who eat half marathons for breakfast, but this is going to be a challenge for me. Running hasn’t been a part of my exercise regime for a long time, but I’m looking forward to getting better at it. That being said, I’m first aiming for good preparation and race completion; my time isn’t important right now.
And now that I’ve made this goal public, I’m much more likely to achieve it.
