When the Running Feels Good...Is There Still More?

Running is a sport if done properly, can make you feel really good. Yeah sure, there will be times where you just want to toss in the towel and call it quits. Most times running will be a good start to the beginning of your day, middle of your day or something if done in the evening a nice stress release. When you start to feel the feeling that you could run forever, finishing your run will give you a comfortable essence and a great sense of accomplishment and hence you will grow to love this wonderful sport.

Have you started to see any changes in your body? Your legs in the beginning may be have been swollen, but as you give time a chance you will start to see a newer you! Your arms will look stronger, your shoulders leaner, and your legs will have changed their shape giving you a nice definition, maybe that you never had.

What happens if you have weight that you need to take off? This is when you got to think... The calories... Yuck calories...That is the big C word for those of us that hate our weight! The thing is the type of calories you put in your body can do a lot for you in a bunch of good ways and help you to look great!

Don't count your calories; just write down everything you eat for the next week. If this requires you to keep a pocket journal with you at all times, by all means do it!
We'll talk about this more next post, because when you combine an exercise program with a journal for food and then change your food that you eat to good food, things can only get better from there.

Running for the Joy

Many of you may be getting to the point where you are running for 5 to 10 minutes and walking until you feel ready to run again. Others may be running for 10 minutes and then walking or slowing your run pace to a walk. The rest of you may be running full out for a half hour keeping a steady pace the whole time.

All of these are ways of reaching towards your goal...

Although getting better doesn't get YOU better, unless you like what you are doing!

Are YOU running for the JOY of running yet?

• Do you like running?
• Are you loving seeing your weekly/monthly improvements?
• Do you feel better?
• Do you look better?
• Do your clothes fit looser?

If you answered 3 of the questions as a YES, you are heading in the right direction.

If you answered not yet, then you know what to work towards.


Sometimes we get sidetracked because our lives are full. Stress can be a problem and make everything we do not fulfilling and fun. We feel guilty when we miss work - outs, we feel guilty when we eat too much, we feel guilty when we don't start something we know we should.


Procrastination is one of my favorite words, because when you hear yourself say it, you know it's time to reevaluate things and put things in a better perspective.
Things may not be right the way we have set them up and they need to be changed.

Sit down and right 3 goals you want to see from your work - out and 3 things that you think will take you there.

When writing this down on paper, you are actually setting up a newer better plan that works just for you.

We all have different lives with so many different situations, so now it's time to make a program schedule that is right for just YOU!
