Training has started for the 2010 Mother’s Day Classic!
Last year I took part in the Mother’s Day Classic and walked 4km with a friend. This year we’ve upped the stakes and decided to run the 4k’s. I love walking but when it comes to increasing the pace, I get a bit nervous about being fit enough to get from A to B in one piece. So I set myself a training schedule and over the next 8 weeks or so, I’ll be going for regular jogs and gradually increasing the distance and pace until I’m on target to run the 4k’s in less than 30 minutes.
Talking of schedules, this morning I spent an hour or so working on a new time management practice to help better organise myself, increase productivity and monitor exactly HOW I spend my day so that I can identify any areas that need improvement. It’s all courtesy of some business coaching that will help me identify goals and get from A to B in once piece! I’m a bit of a spontaneous person and have a tendency to react to things and deal with them immediately rather than plan where they fit into my weekly workload. Hopefully the new schedule will stop me from doing that.
One exciting thing that is happening on the weekend is I’m going to Speaker Sports, an event run by Deanna Roberts at Think in Pictures. On Saturday I will “breakthrough my personal barriers that prevent me from becoming the exquisite presenter I desire to be.” I blogged about public speaking last year and I really do want to avoid trembling knees and embarrassing stutters and actually enjoy the experience of presenting to a large group of people. I’ll blog all about it next week.
Check out the Mother’s Day Classic website for more information on taking part in the event. Enjoy the rest of your week.
