In order to achieve your goal faster and easily, there are different strategies you can take. One being that the goal should be on your terms. Because I have set the time and distance for myself, I made the goal that is attainable by me.

Another one you could take is dream big but start small. I want to be able to running distance such as a half marathon. In able to achieve this, I need to set smaller goals that will lead me to it such as running a 5K first.

Goals are important. On page 10 it states, " Goals are critical. They keep you focused on what’s important, and allow you to make the best use of your 24 hours each day." By creating my goal, I am able to get in shape easier and help me stay focused on maintaining good health.

After my goal is reached, I will set new goals to reach a faster time and be able to run longer distances. By doing this, I am able to keep my body in shape and avoid any major health issues caused by lack of exercise. On page 7 it states, " By setting yourself effective health goals, you’ll maximize your life span and enjoy your life more too!"

I have no health issues and I do not get injured easily therefore I am not likely to damage my health as I try to achieve my goal. My father's side has a problem with their heart but I have not showed any signs. I get enough sleep needed for a teen so I think I am ready to achieve my goal.

My goal is timely and not to far away. Because I have set my goal to be achieved near the end of summer, I can give myself plenty of time to train, increase my distance, and gain speed every week to get ready for race day.

I would consider my goal to be realistic. I have ran before but I am no cross country runner therefore it wouldn't be very realistic to run a marathon. That is why I have set a goal to run a 5K which is a good starting race distance.

On page five it explains, : You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps." In order to achieve my goal I will increase my distance every week so I can be ready to run a 5K by summer with no problem.

Measuring your goal will help you stay on track. I will measure my goal by timing my daily runs to make sure I can get closer to my desired time or to run it even faster.

On page 2 it explains, " A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal." My goal could be just to run but instead I made it specific by adding a time and distance.

My SMART goal is to run a 23 minute 5K this summer. I have ran before but I want to achieve a faster time.
