I've been slacking on physical fitness this year. I go through cycles where I prioritize other things before physical fitness, and the first year of the MBA has definitely been one of those downward troughs of the cycle. I think a lot of it has had to do with the lack of a goal.
About two weeks ago I decided to run the intramural 5k. Historically, I have never taken 5k races very seriously, but I've slacked off on running so much lately that the race is a little intimidating to me, especially since I know other students are in much better shape, having made different choices when it comes to prioritizing physical fitness in their schedules. I've returned to running and my runs are much faster than before I had the race on the horizon.
It's taught me that I need physical fitness goals to keep fitness as a priority in my life. I'm going to schedule a marathon for the fall, so that I have something to work up to over the summer and in the beginning of my second year at school.
