(and in fact it is a BRILLIANT article about task focus compared to goal focus - a Very important distinction)

Task 3 of the Michelle Bridges 12 week body trainsformation Challenge is about goal setting and I know exactly where mine lie. I know from past experience that if I focus my attentions on weight loss I am setting myself up to fail. I need an event oriented goal and I need specific tasks along the way to measure my progress and stay on task. 

The Challenge asks for 12 month goals as well - however, I have decided to keep that one to myself.

1 Month Goals
To be committed to running 3 days per week (alongside cross training).
To chart my progress in my training diary daily.

How I Will Get There
Follow the 12WBT program.
Spend 15 minutes each day writing down the exercise I have done for the day, looking over my training plan and planning the next days training.

3 Month Goals
To complete the 12WBTC. To be halfway through a training program for the running of a half Marathon in August 2010 and as a result of this be able to complete a long run of 12km.

How I Will Get There
Follow the 12 WBTC. Take it one day at a time and not think too far in advance.
Look at my daily goals and focus on the completion of those.
Not get too stressed by events that are out of my control.
Post the entry fee for the Half Marathon as soon as entries open.
Participate in the Womens and Girls Jogalong on the 1st Sunday of each month. from March to May (recovery week)

6 Month Goals
Complete my second Half Marathon - the Brisbane Half Marathon on August 1st 2010.

How I Will Get There
Continue to follow my training plan. Look at getting some directed coaching with Pat Carrol after the 12WBTC has finished. Book flights etc. Stay focussed. Participate in the Womens and Girls Jogalong on the 1st Sunday of each month for June and July (recovery week)
