About 3 weeks ago Tim asked me to fill out a GAS or Goal Achievement Strategy. I looked at my GAS today and realized that my MAIN goal has not changed. The thing that has changed though is that I am finally taking steps to achieve my goal.
The question is what was my goal. Well its a hot subject in the “Forest fit” class as its the (TRIATHLON).
Now this has been a goal of mine for years but I never felt that I had time and as I never wrote it down or told anyone, it remained a goal……. A never-ending one.
Though after writing it down and realizing what I needed to do, it became more realistic.
Well where am I now, I have done the easy bits, bought a bike helmet, got my bike checked out and bought a new swimming hat and goggles.
Now the other bit, well I have cycled a bit but the weather has not been too helpful, running has not been very often excluding sprinting in forest fit and playing a bit of squash.
However swimming has started, I swam my first 1000 meters on Wednesday and was very proud of myself. It was 5 x 200 meters with a minute break between each one. Next week I hope to go again and then 2 x the week following with next week being 5 x 250 meters.
So with me finally talking about my goals, now I have found a lot of other people who would also like to achieve the same goals. This makes it a lot easier to believe that I will do it.
So thanks to me just writing it down in the Goal Achievement Strategy or GAS, I am really going to achieve my goal.
First the TRIATHLON then the IRONMAN,,,,, well lets just complete this one first
