Monday Motivation

source
"A League of their Own" is one of my favorite movies....and this is one of my favorite quotes from it!  This quote was going through my head the other day as I ran my first outdoor run since Aubrey was born.  While I was in heaven pounding the pavement and breathing in the crisp air, I couldn't ignore the fact that it was hard.  Climbing back is going to be hard...that first half is going to be hard...losing the weight is going to be hard...intervals and speed work is going to be hard....but that is what makes it GREAT!  And when I am standing on the this side of the finish line it will be all worth it!  Running is hard....but it is the hard that makes it great!!
Embrace the hard whatever it may be....it's making you GREAT!!!

  1. Congrats on your first outdoor run since having Aubrey! Love your attitude. I was sitting here thinking how hard it is to get back in the swing of things after a long holiday weekend, but you've inspired me to MOVE today!

  3. As crazy as it sounds I love it when the workouts and runs are hard. Maybe not at the time but if you stick with it the feeling afterward is amazing and that's worth the work and effort. You're going to rock the come back Nancy :)

  4. That's the quote that gets me through any tough race/run. You rock getting back into the swing of things so quickly! Having a newborn is a perfect excuse not to. Yay you! :)
