Intention

I realize this word is full of potential. Many of us don't realize our potential. Because we don't become engaged, active.

That is where the 'forward' and 'motion' concept connect with the intentional. One needs to engage. Be active.

I ponder this while I run/walk my long runs.
Even my intention is just that, intention, on some days. I have planned a core workout and/or a run/walk, but I don't do it.

Right now, I'm in the last days of training for a marathon, so I understand why I'm being sluggish on some days.

That makes me ponder my intentions for being a healthly athlete. After recovering from the marathon, my intention is to be actively engaged for 30-60 minutes 5 or 6 of 7 days. With strength and core training mixed into the days.

My personal goals are:

to realize my health potential:
--manage my diabetes (keep my a1c at 6.0 or below)
--manage my weight ( helps to manage diabetes and blood pressure)
--eat healthy foods in appropriate amounts
--exercise: cardio, strength, core, stretch
