Neil's goal was to run at least 1 mile per day, 5 days a week, and measure his progress via a treadmill or maps. He chose this goal to establish a cardio routine and lose weight. He encountered barriers like laziness, a busy schedule, and lack of fitness. However, he was able to stay motivated with support from his girlfriend and friends, as well as fitness resources online. By tracking his miles, speed, and frequency weekly, he met his original goal and improved his performance, running 4 miles at 6-7 mph. His goal helped him lose 10 pounds so far with a goal of losing 10 more pounds by graduation.

6. Performance
 Met My Goal During Most Weeks
 Met Original Goal of 1 mile, 5 days by 9/16
 Did Not Run At All on Week 9 – Got Sick
 I have managed to run every week that I physically
can. I have made major improvements in
performance, and I plan to continue. I can now run
4 miles, fairly regularly, at 6-7 miles per hour. I plan
to increase my speed and hopefully to be running
5 miles daily by the time I graduate in May of this
year.
 My SMART goal helped me to lose 10 pounds so
far, and I am hoping to lose at least 10 more by the
end of the school year.
 I’ve learned that I have much better endurance
than I ever thought, but it is still a major struggle
for me to stay motivated when I have school, work,
and other responsibilities to attend to.
