What makes you keep on?

I was thinking of that today while I was walking. What makes you do what you do? What makes you stay on that treadmill an extra mile when you are done. And you hate ever single minute of it? What makes you drag yourself outside on a 10 degree day when you are cold to get a walk in. Exercise is so mental. Getting off the couch. Starting. Keeping on. It hurts, so quit. What makes you stay in there and fight? What makes you keep on. I think the more I try the more I learn about myself. I must want it whatever it is. I must to be not drinking soda still after 13 days. The headaches are gone so it's all good.It feels different this time perhaps training for this helps. Who knows I sure hope it stays with me this time.

A New Year a New Pair of Running Shoes and A New Resolve

I was trying to explain to the boys what a resolution was and somehow I heard the words like giving us soda for a year coming out of my mouth. Logan quickly said Oh you can not do that no way. And Rob said we can do it Mom I'll do it with you. And somehow it stuck. I am not sure how I get myself into these things. I do however think now I will do it. There is something about how Logan said you can not do it. Call it motivation. I am however excited by another year and the idea of a chance to begin again. I somehow talked Karla and Traci into doing the country music half marathon with me in April again motivation. I like the idea of no excuses no reasons why I can't. No unknown just me and my new shoes and my will. I may just have had enough. Here's to 2010 lets see where it takes me.
