This past Saturday I took my boys to watch some of the Country Music Marathon. Having done 4 marathons and many other races over 30 plus years, watching I was amazed at how different looking we really are. We come in all shapes, sizes, colors, body language etc... Yet every one in that race had one thing in mind and that's finish this thing.
Truly take what has been given to you, your body, and make it the best you can. Except it, feed it, water it, exercise it and love it!
Wow, it's hard to believe it's been six years ago since I did the Boston Marathon. I set a goal and wanted to check it off my "bucket list". Not only did I but I ran my fastest marathon at 3:11.
Goals are very important. It can be very hard to stay on track and focus if we don't.
Set short term goals at 2-3 months and long term 3-6 months.
Our life if one BIG busy shedule. Work, family, bills, baseball games, church, friends, oil changes, homework etc... When you do get time to workout, use your time wisely. Don't waste it talking, texting or just trying to figure what you are going to do. Just do something!
If the machines are all full, have a backup plan. Get it done!!
