Running for the Joy

Many of you may be getting to the point where you are running for 5 to 10 minutes and walking until you feel ready to run again. Others may be running for 10 minutes and then walking or slowing your run pace to a walk. The rest of you may be running full out for a half hour keeping a steady pace the whole time.

All of these are ways of reaching towards your goal...

Although getting better doesn't get YOU better, unless you like what you are doing!

Are YOU running for the JOY of running yet?

• Do you like running?
• Are you loving seeing your weekly/monthly improvements?
• Do you feel better?
• Do you look better?
• Do your clothes fit looser?

If you answered 3 of the questions as a YES, you are heading in the right direction.

If you answered not yet, then you know what to work towards.


Sometimes we get sidetracked because our lives are full. Stress can be a problem and make everything we do not fulfilling and fun. We feel guilty when we miss work - outs, we feel guilty when we eat too much, we feel guilty when we don't start something we know we should.


Procrastination is one of my favorite words, because when you hear yourself say it, you know it's time to reevaluate things and put things in a better perspective.
Things may not be right the way we have set them up and they need to be changed.

Sit down and right 3 goals you want to see from your work - out and 3 things that you think will take you there.

When writing this down on paper, you are actually setting up a newer better plan that works just for you.

We all have different lives with so many different situations, so now it's time to make a program schedule that is right for just YOU!
