Wednesday Week 6

     Today I had a great lesson in how our mind talks us out of exercising.  My plan for today was to run for 30 minutes after work, before I picked up my daughter.  Due to meetings and a lot of work to do at the end of the semester I only had 20 minutes to run before I needed to pick her up.  My first thought was that isn’t enough time so I got in my car drove towards her school.  Then I thought, “I’m going to have to post on my blog that I didn’t do my run.”  My next thought was, “Well, I do have 20 mintues I could do something and I always say something is better than nothing.”  So I stopped my car about 10 parking spaces up from my original spot and went for a 20 minute run.  I felt so much better after just that short run and was reminded about how my mindset can either keep me moving towards my goals or away from them.  Of course, the accountablity of blogging about my progress was also a great motivator.     

Live Well,
