This weekend I realized something about myself....I need to push harder. Sundays used to be a sore day for me...long run on Saturday usually meant Sunday was going to be a sore day. Well....I wasn't sore....or tired. 11.5 miles and I wasn't sore. This means two things to me.....I need to go longer and faster! I want to see what I'm made of! The only person limiting me is myself!!
What are you made of? Go out there this week and find out!!!
Thankfulness Day 21: I'm thankful for my Dad's health, even though he isn't feeling super...he's home! I have written many times about my Dad and his struggle with Chrone's Disease. One Thanksgiving my hubby and I got to my parent's house and no one was home. Dad had to be rushed to the hospital with a blood infection. Well this year, even though I won't be there, he is. Chrone's is a daily struggle for him but each day I am thankful for one more day with my Dad!
Yay a BodyRock picture! BodyRock has really helped me push my limits and has helped me see what I am made of. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's awesome. Not even sore!?!?! I did it, I started back at the gym this morning!! YIPEE!! I feel so much better with myself to. I finally came to miss it.
ReplyDeleteNice to recognize it and push the bar up a bit! Let us know what you do.
ReplyDeleteI've had that same realization myself this past week!
ReplyDeleteI have had that realization a couple times! Sometimes I really try to not pay attention to it, but it's so much better when I do something about it!
ReplyDeleteI think its great to see that you need to do that, i totally have an issue with not pushing myself. Funny I was going to do a blog post tomorrow about how I workout all the time but pretty lazy at it!
ReplyDeleteget thee to a full marathon training plan. you will no longer feel that need. lol
ReplyDeletei tried the sports beans and they are not my friends. :(
Love this! I had the same realization after I finished Philly yesterday - gotta keep raising the bar!

LOVE THIS! and i can definitely relate. at the end of the summer i realized that i had been running the same distances at the same paces for FAR TOO LONG. i was getting bored. it was time to switch it up a bit...it has been fun and i can feel myself getting stronger! love your motivational monday posts!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good sign! Your body has adapted well and is asking to be pushed a little. Here's to a longer long run!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of going vegetarian for a day. Great way to get new foods into the diet. You should invest in a good inspiring vegetarian cookbook.
