DAy 13 Friday July 15th, 2016    Your Body can do it, it's your mind that you need to convince!

10 K Run - I woke up this morning and I was not in the mood to do the 10k this am.  My goal was to beat last weeks time 1 hr 28 min.  Then I started making excuses as to why I  didn't need to and that.  I forgot my toe caps, my blisters hurt, my hip is bothering me a bit.  Big enough excuses, don't you think?  I started the race and I was having trouble getting my ipod to work - this was going to be a long experience with no music.  My volume button was turned down on the headphone.  When I figured this out, the music returned.  Here are the lyrics that greeted my ears!

Lonestar - Mountains   

 Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
Hell bent to run in that local marathon
He trained through the endless pain and pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes he just had to cry
He didn't stop until he crossed that finish line

So what was my excuse again? My brain kicked into high gear and my body followed. I ran every chance I got ( on the flat ground or downhill ) and I am VERY PROUD to say that my time was

1hr 21 min 45 sec.  WOW! I shaved almost 7 minutes off last weeks time ( which I was also very proud of) 

Sorry for the sideways picture, i`m too tired to figure out how to flip it around - the computer and I are not getting along these days!

BREAKFAST

BIKE RIDE - 1 hr 2 min - took an easy bike on the flattest terrain I could find.  Was tuckered out from the run so I just wanted to enjoy the SUN and get some calories burnt.  I took a new route and really enjoyed it. I have to look at the map and figure out a way home so that I can make a nice loop out of it.  So many people are so active in this town, it`s great!

POWER CORE - I  was a killer again

LUNCH

I blew off the schedule for the rest of the afternoon. I missed Q&A and apparently I did not miss much.  1 girl walked out and the rest of the group was tired of 1 family of 5 basically running the show with family issues.  I just wanted more time outside. 

30 minutes of Exercise Bike

1 km ( 40 lengths) swimming

30 minutes of water jogging

45 min of water aerobics ( I did it myself)

40 minutes Treadmill

15 min exercise bike

SUPPER

MASSAGE - it was OK - but it was not MY AMY!

All in all it was a great day!  Food was great ( as usual) email me if you want a copy of the cookbook!  Tomorrow will be a lighter day - only half a day and then I think i`m going to go float in a reservoir and read a book and soak up the sun.  Catch a movie tomorrow night and a bit of shopping.  Day off on Sunday - no big plans, just want to relax.  Probably go for a nice walk before it gets too hot and float again.

So the message of the day - is to set goals! Do your best to achieve them.  Be flexible but don`t sell yourself short.  You are capable of so much more than you think you can do and don`t let your mind hold you back!
