Welcome!Against common wisdom I have written a book about both life planning and running. It begins by offering my experiences developing and achieving life goals that are multi-dimensional, all encompassing, and designed to bring fulfillment. My belief is that deep personal satisfaction (happiness) is achieved when one's most valuable and important goals are obtained.I use my achievement of qualifying for the Boston Marathon as an example. Planning and training for marathons translates easily to planning and achieving life goals. Additionally, I share a unique and strategic qualifying approach for the Boston Marathon as an average runner.My semi-secret desire in presenting this dual focus is for runners to apply my life planning approach to all goals they desire to achieve. I also hope to motivate non-runners without a health and wellness goal to establish one – running or not.The memoir also includes set-backs that I have faced; the loss of my son, a failed marriage, and other shortcomings. It reveals my approach to making sense of pain and loss while trying to continue to move forward by controlling what I could control; setting goals, developing plans and moving into action. It describes how I arose from an abyss and turned the negative into a positive.Subsequently, I ran the Boston Marathon, my eighth marathon, in April of 2011 where I re-qualified for the 2012 Boston Marathon. |
