I haven't done this yet, but I think it would be very humbling to honestly look at what percentage I would give myself in each aspect. I agree that giving 100% in every area may not be realistic, but it certainly is something to shoot for. <br /><br />Happy to hear your roof is fixed!Sporadic Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679473979206704859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552294020826574439.post-70446331734198543402013-02-01T20:03:07.386-08:002013-02-01T20:03:07.386-08:00Sounds like you are doing a great job.

I've haven't been very good at keeping in touch with out of town friends lately -- that is something I want to be better at. But I think I really have been giving 100% in exercise. Probably a little less in work and diet. Always something to work on, right?<br /><br />Good luck getting your ceiling fixed!Kristen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309610842667457857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552294020826574439.post-37538803115351501392013-02-01T09:51:33.733-08:002013-02-01T09:51:33.733-08:00Bummer about the roof!

Well... the ceiling in our bathroom just fell apart, literally there was a hole. I felt horrible because the new owners would come in and see it :S I guess the building management is responsible for restoring it so it's not too bad. <br /><br />I'm definitely not 100% in all areas of my life.

Being at 100% isn't realistic, but it is the effort to get there that really counts. <br /><br />I am totally focused on my marathon, so I am not doing hardcore track work or anything. I just still think I will end up getting a PR in a 5k because of how much overall fitness I have attained since my last race. I am very careful in my training because of my knee, so I don't go too overboard. I will make sure to stay focused though!
