I love to run. I was in track when I was a kid and I always enjoyed running, especially around my neighborhood at night. I've never had the urge to get crazy about it and undertake a marathon but nothing feels quite like it.

About 10 years ago I had given it up due to some issues I was having with my joints, including those in my toes. I found other ways to exercise that I enjoyed, rollerblading mostly, and considerend my running days over.

Recently I signed up for a bootcamp exercise class. The class is awesome and I love the suspension training on the TRX. But what I didn't expect was to rediscover running. Linda Mitchell, the instructor, is also a POSE certified running coach. She has helped me improve my form and much to my surprise I am back running again without pain. I love the zone I get into when I've been going for about half a mile. Usually I only go about 1.5 miles tops. I'm grateful to be able to run again and can't wait to get outside once the weather warms up!

"What could you accomplish if you were willing to go the extra mile, put in just a little extra effort, provide just a little more service?"

"Confidence is contagious. So is lack of confidence" Vince Lombardi

"There was almost always more emotional intensity around your errors, mistakes, and failures than there was arond your successes."

"A big part of creating more success in your life is rewarding yourself when you succeed."

"Rewarding yourself for your wins powerfully reinforces your subconscious mind's desire to want to work harder for you."

"If there's anything new that you want in your life, you've got to make room for it. I mean that psychologically as well as physically."

"Staying mired in the past uses valuable energy and robs you of the power you need to forge ahead in the creating of what you want."

"Successful people face these circumstances squarely, heed the warning signs, andf take appropriate action, no matter how uncomfortable or challenging it might be."

"Every cell in your body is affected by every thought you have."

"You have to learn to challenge and talk back to the thoughts that are not serving you in creating greater success and happiness."

"As soon as we feel like we should do something, we create an internal resistance to doing it."

"Believing that you are capable of handling anything that comes up in your life means that you are no longer afraid of anything."

"Good or bad, habits always deliver results"
