"Change is the essence of life.  Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become."

Saw this somewhere and had to post it.  Ready!!!

 

 

"You were created to excel.

There’s no limit to how far you can go in life.

Keep stretching to the next level." 

Visualize this thing that you want and GO...

Challenging myself!!

I signed up for the Spartan Race this June which includes various obstacles from wall climbs, to fire jumps, to carrying heavy objects.  The obstacles are very challenging, unexpected, extreme and I truly expect this race to challenge my fitness ability and strength. However, I am up for this CHALLENGE!!!  I will do better than my best and complete it! 

FOCUS!

"Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin."

Happy New Year!

It's all about you in 2013!  Follow your dreams!

Keep trying!

"You block your dreams when you allow fear to grow bigger than your faith."

"No matter how many obstacles you face, 

how long the road or how far you have to go, 

lose your doubts, fears, and past failures,

 and believe in yourself.  

You can accomplish your goals."  

- Tricia Singh

Breast cancer awareness month

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  There are a lot of walks, races and fitness events during this month to help raise awareness and money to fight breast cancer, including the Making Strides walk.  My mom was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer last year so this cause is very important to me.  Check out the Making Strides website or google another race in your area to help show your support.

Also, check out this article on five nutritional steps to prevent breast cancer:

100 Days Left to the NYC Marathon!

100 days left until marathon runners from all over the world come together to accomplish one goal - cross that finish line!  Team for Kids has officially sold out of spots for the 2012 ING NYC Marathon.  Thanks to all that has joined Team for Kids and showed support!  Looking forward to more runs with the team.

It's HOT!

Eight weeks into marathon training and my body is starting to feel it.  It becomes increasingly difficult to train with the NYC summer heat but I always push through.  With the soaring temperatures in NYC and beyond, runners and athletes make sure that you stay hydrated!

The heat is on! Make sure that you stay hydrated!
