I am about to begin a marathon, so August for me is about training for the marathon. I need to get to a place where I have energy, enthusiasm, motivation and did I mention energy? All this means I need a plan, beyond just stop banging my head & get my list of things to do done!
The goals for August are:
Read
- The gospel again
- Book of Isaiah
- The Power of a Praying Woman
- The China Study
- Turning Points
- Time Magazine
- Mother Teresa: In My Own Words
Health
- Keep a water consumption journal
- Gym 15 x [join when I move]
- Swim 25 x (3/25)
Professional
- Apply 50 jobs + in new location [need a job asap and currently stats are 1/57 jobs you apply for you get....]
Fellowship
- Find a new Church
- Join a Bible Study
- Start a weekly prayer chain with details of aspects of my marathon that need a great deal of prayer
Making/Creating
- Sew something….maybe cushion covers? or baby trousers?
- Find a free knitting, sewing, quilting or crochet class/group
- Make a plan for apple & tomato harvesting in September
Love
- Hug special people tightly and tell them I love them…
- Find a new volunteer position
- Write a daily thankful journal
What are your plans for August?
Great goals! Mine is to run 4x a week!
My goal is to get through my text book for a course I am taking, Canadian Securities. I need this course to be able to sell Mutual Funds.
I plan to write my exam no later than October.
I also plan to pick a ton of blackberries and try to have a lot of fun with my son before he starts his 1st year of school this September.
More new challenges I see.

Spend time with God each day
Exercise each day
Can’t wait to hear about what you’re up to next! Hope your head is feeling better…
I must have missed that you’re moving. Congrats! And I’m very impressed on the marathon run. Best of luck on that; my biggest fitness goals are making sure to take a walk everyday. With the heat what it is, though, I’ve failed miserably even at that!
