It really is amazing how when you first start out the impossible seems so out of reach.   Then with time and a lot of work, it seems like it might just be in your grasp.    I NEVER in a million years thought I would be able to do this and some days I still wonder if I will finish.    Then there are days like today where it finally seems like it is all coming together (even if I’m still stuck at the 10 pound mark.)

What changed?    Really nothing.    But I realized that my attitude has changed when I’m working out.   It’s not like, “What the Hell am I doing”   to “I can do this.”    Today, I went to the gym did my normal strength training for about an hour.    I was by myself and still pushed it……

Three sets –  wall balls with a 9 pound ball, jumping rope, and TRX rows

Then

Three sets – Abs, Renegade Rows, and lunges with weights

Then

Chest presses, tricept curls, and pushups

Finally

I ran without stopping for a little over 30 minutes and ran 3 miles.     I kept a good speed between 5.5 and 6.5 and also alternated incline.   I did not go crazy and kept the incline at no more than 1.    But I did it!

So the key seems to be as Nike says, “Just do it!”

Today I feel good.   We will see about tomorrow:)

Live, Laugh, Love
