I usually post my goals for the week on Sundays and then log about each goal on the same 5 or 6 days of the week (see the listing on the right side). For the next 6 weeks, I will only be listing my goals in 2 training areas of my life - training for the bar exam in 40 days, and training for the half marathon in 128 days. Very, very limited focus?

And I let go today - let go of all the crazy but fun things that comprise my life. I let go so that in 40 days, I can land with both feet on the ground for the bar exam.
I have to be honest here, because that is what this blog is about. I haven't blogged because I was waiting to speak with my trainer (for the bar exam) first.
