Motivation Monday

Need a dose of Motivation, positive thoughts or inspiration? I found a good site. I am into reading quotes and bits of wisdom. To me it is a quick boost! The site is www.motivateus.com Here are a few quotes that I like:

" It's amazing how many cares disappear when you decide not to be something, but to be someone."--- Coco Chanel

" Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future."Marilyn Ferguson

" The superior man is modest in his speech, but excels in his actions."Confucius

I added the website to my favorite's list. I guess I like the fact that you can get bits of wisdom in small pockets of time!

I love this video. It is all cardio and it is at a much faster pace than many of her other videos. You have the option to stop after each mile or do the whole thing!

I plan to walk on Saturday at the gym.

Believe in Yourself!

Activity: Walking
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 36 minutes

I finally developed my full training schedule for the 1/2 Marathon. I used the one at The Walking Site. I adjusted it to fit the date of the marathon. I created a calendar and used clip art to decorate it - make it fun! I will post it on the refrigerator.

You know how you read something or hear something over and over again. Then one day, you hear the same message but with a different twist and WHAM - it hits you! If finally sinks in! well that is what I recently experienced. I was listening to a 4 part teleconference training through Seriesse - A company I have joined. I am lucky to be on the McCortney Team- Mindy had arranged a teleconference with Author, coach, and Speaker David Benzel. He did an excellent teleconference on achieving what you desire in life. I have done a lot of goal setting in my life - actually this was influenced a lot by Anthony Robbins. What struck me was the power of BELIEF. I understand how your belief system develops and can shape your life. He said some things that really had impact. I found out this was one reason I typically would fall short of achieving some goals Through listening to this, I created a positive belief that I am now repeating throughout the day. I say this to myself as if what I desire is already occurring - don't say / write something as if it may happen.

Here is my new belief:
"I am an Athlete training for a 1/2 Marathon. I eat, train and make choices for peak performance"

This is working for me. Repetition is the mother of skill - I have been stating this several times throughout the day.

I highly recommend David's books and websites:

David Benzel's newest book - you can get it at Amazon:
From Chump to Champ: How Individuals Go from Good to Great

Here are 2 of his websites:

Take care and have a wonderul holiday

Update on Training

Daily Progress
Activity: Walking
Distance: 2 miles
Time: 4o minutes (yikes!)

I have to start following my training schedule more closely. I have a tendency to skip a day and try to put in all of my walking in at the end of the week. My diet was alright today - I focused on healthy choices and have increased my water intake. I am taking a few days off for the holiday which will reduce my stress level.

Starting to Train

Hello, I have actually started my walking program today! 2 miles down! There are a lot of free training schedules on line for walking the half marathon. Most are based on a 16 week training schedule. I have started early. I am slowly working up to the pace of the 1st week of my training schedule. I am using the schedule at Marathon walking.com There is also a great book out called "The absolute Beginner's guide to Half-Marathon Training, Get ready to run or walk a 5K, 10K or Half-Marathon (Hedrick, 2005). It has some great information that would benefit anyone interested in doing this type of thing!
Well that's it for today!
