"Swallow a full measure of persistence and give your task all the energy and effort you possess and watch yourself improve."
- Reed Markham, American writer, Salk Lake Community College
This is my thought for the day. As I was running/jogging/ power walking (my interval training shit that I'm trying to do) down at the river walk this evening, this quote came to me. I got it in my inbox at work the other morning.
As I did several intervals (i do this b/c I'm not trying nor am i worried about losing any weight...i just want to be in shape and be toned and healthy), I broke out into a constant jog and stayed there for a longer amount of time than normal. As I was jogging at a little faster pace, I was in my own world. It was nice. My brain starts kicking in...I realized that I wanted to run instead of jog. So I did. (I'm not a runner...) I ran for longer than I've ever ran and faster. It's kind of hard to find a perfect rhythm. But once you find it, you're good to go. I guess the other stuff kind of helped me warm up to the running. As I was running, I started thinking about how awesome it was to run. My heart rate was up and I was sweating. I liked it. Afterwards, I was high.
Oh well, I guess I'm addicted to running now. :)

- “The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.
