After spraining one of my toes I decided to take July off from running. Today, I got back into it with a 2.32 mile run in 22 minutes. I normally do that run in 19 minutes, so I'm not too far off. Also, I weighed in this morning at 179.5 pounds. Eating mostly plant based food kept the pounds off, even though I wasn't very active.
Here is the view from today's run.
I recently heard on the news that Ryan Lochte, the guy who just beat Phelps in Olympic swimming, trained everyday for 4 years. Phelps only trained for one year. One of the things Lochte did was flip tires, everyday. Its crazy to think about doing that, everyday, but he had a goal in mind, a plan, and the desire and motivation to win.
Its that simple. Whats your goal? Whats your plan. How do you stay motivated? In 2013 I want to run a marathon. That's my goal. And it starts today with that 2.32 mile run. Ill come up with a plan later, but for now I'm going to run everyday this week.
