Setting Goals for 2011...part 1

So I've been thinking through some goals for 2011...for my family, for my team, and for me personally.

For me personally, I have to get back in the routine of exercising. It's been WAY TOO LONG since I've been on track to being even sort of in shape...and my body is screaming this to me!
I'm thinking about starting the year with this plan...

Then following it up with this training schedule...OKC Half Marathon.

I think all in all this is a training schedule of 22 weeks which may be a little tight considering that the race is on May 1, but hey it's a lofty goal and hopefully my body will make it there! Now all I have to do is get off my butt and do something about it!

Great Post: Advice to Worship Leaders

This is something I've thought and often said over the years...I'm glad someone finally put it to words!
