Getting back into it...
The weather is changing for the better so that means I'm back on a fitness kick. Funny how the season dictates my interests and how my mind always plays tricks on me. That statement needs some explanation.... I mean, when I am not "active" my mind diverts to thinking negative and I tend to forget all of the positive things I have done; my mind reminds me of all of the days I haven't ran and forgets that my body is capable of running a half-marathon; I think of the extra weight I carry around my middle instead of the fact that I can do over 30 pushups (REAL pushups) and that I can hold a plank for over 2 minutes!!! There is a very difficult and highly technical process (yes, I am being sarcastic) that I have formulated to "change my mind". Step 1: Sign up for a race....this creates a deadline and prompts me to take action. I signed up for a 10K at the end of April. I haven't competed in a 10K before and the medal at the end gives me motivation. T
