21 Days To Make a Habit

By Kayla, Editor

If you're like me, you're finding it hard to start running...and to stay running.  Since I was a junior in college I've had a marathon on my bucket list, but the closest I've ever gotten to achieving that goal is walking the last mile in a 5k.  Starting the Spark. Facebook page and blog are two of my most legitimate attempts at making myself a "runner;" that, and trying make it a habit. 

I have read over and over in fitness magazines that you have to put in 21 days to make something a true habit.  After doing some research (probably spending a significant amount of time on pinterest), I came up with this nifty little mind trick (pictured). I took 21 pieces of stickie note tabs and numbered them 1 to 21.  At the end of each run, I take one down.  Now granted it's only been 3 days, but I can't tell you have much pride I feel taking each tab down as I complete it.
