Training Tip #3 for the Run for Mercy 5K & Family Walk

3. Set a goal and write it down.

The #1 secret to success is writing down your goals.
A study done at Harvard Business School looked at
the importance of setting goals. They found 84% of
graduates had no specific goals at all, 13% had goals
but were not written down, and only 3% had clear
written goals and a strategy to accomplish them. The
results were shocking – the 3% who had written goals
and a strategy were earning on average 10x as much
as the other 97% combined! I like to write down my
goals and post them on my bathroom mirror so I see
them every day. Maybe you want to run your 5K in
under 30 minutes, or maybe you just want to finish!
Whatever it is, write it down!

Training Tip #2 for the Run for Mercy 5K & Family Walk

2. Find a running and training partner.

Having accountability is huge! You are much more
likely to get out of bed to run in the morning if you
know you have to meet your partner at the track. Your
partner could be your spouse, sibling, good friend or
co-worker. Neither of you have to be expert runners.
Just having someone there to encourage you and
motivate you will make a world of difference.
