Reaching Euphoria

Gosh It is chilly this morning...I had to wrap up. I am just not a cold weather person at all. I am moving to a warm island just as soon as I can.

I am practicing for my first half marathon at home every day. I have learned that what I eat right before a run greatly influences how long I stay in the game.

My daughter runs with me but she is not able to run as long as I do yet. She wanted to know, How in the world do you run nonstop without getting overly tired.

The key is to start slow. Run a lap, walk a lap...then run two laps, walk one lap...run 3 laps, walk one lap...run 4 laps, walk a lap, then run 4 more and walk 1. eventually you can connect them all with running. I had to listen to my body and feel it. One day after the 4th lap Instead of walking my body said ..Go...you have plenty of energy left to do this. I heard forest gump in my mind when he broke out of his braces....Ha! I love that movie, precious! Now I am running 3 miles a day without walking in between. It feels amazing.

couldn't help it...LOL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2-MCPa_3rU
Many ask how in the world do you do that? It's just a matter of getting your body used to it over a gradual period of time. It is a great habit to create for yourself.

It takes 66 days to form a new habit! http://www.spring.org.uk/2009/09/how...rm-a-habit.php

This is the perfect plan...

"But the longer and farther I ran, the more I realized that what I was often chasing was a state of mind - a place where worries that seemed monumental melted away, where the beauty and timelessness of the universe, of the present moment, came into sharp focus.”

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
