Getting a rhythm back

Getting a rhythm back

For the past week, I worked hard at getting out the door quicker. On four of my five running days, I was quick out the door.

Once I started running, I focused on my pace. On Monday, it was great. I ran fast. Every day after Monday, I struggled to maintain a faster pace. 

It's OK though because my focus was getting out the door. To build this week, get out the door and run faster. 

It's all about building blocks, so time to rock!

Focusing on one small thing in the next two weeks...

Focusing on one small thing in the next two weeks...

I have noticed myself having difficulty getting "out the door" in a timely fashion lately. This negatively impacts my running schedule, so I am going to focus on getting ready and out the door in 5-10 minutes. When I get out running, it goes so well. I am not sure why I struggle getting out the door. Here is my plan.

1. Set all of my gear out the night before.
2. Get to bed earlier.
3. Measure my time to get out the door.
4. Make it fun!

I am excited about this new plan!

Need to revisit my running motivation

Need to revisit my running motivation

This past week, I traveled for work. I did a relatively good job keeping up with my runs. I did notice my motivation "waning" toward the end of the week.

This week, I will dig a little deeper and will concentrate on my running motivation. I need to kick start my consistency for cross training too.

I have a lot to do, but I am excited! As good ole Snoopy says, I am going to keep looking up:)

The Power of a Compliment!

The Power of a Compliment!

Lately, I have been working hard to eat better and cross train. I love the results! What I love the most, is the way it makes me feel. In the past week, I have heard a few really nice compliments.

To all of you, it just flat out makes my day and motivates me beyond word. It got me thinking again. Compliments really matter. In our fast paced world, it is easy to forget to give them. 

Here is my challenge to you. Tomorrow, compliment two people if you can. Stop and deliberately give them the good stuff. Tell them they look handsome or pretty, have a nice smile or anything that is genuine. 

Watch as they receive the news. You will get a nice reward! By the way, I want to thank each of you reading my BLOG. It makes me smile to think you enjoy it. 

Next week I will feature a series that will focus on the power of one person. It will highlight how one person can truly make a difference. My list of people is going to delight you. If you have someone you want to recommend, please email me at jim.connely56@gmail.com and I will feature them. 

Have a nice night!
