Another Day Keeping the Momentum
Today's Run: 3.0 miles
Run Time: 36:27 minutes
Total Miles to Date: 836.9
Thoughts on the Run:
Today, I feel wonderful. Once again, I have overcome my own self-sabotage. I'm gaining momentum.
I woke up at 4:45 this morning. I take out the dogs, get dressed, and kiss my wife and daughter on the cheek before I head out.
At 6:00am at our church, we have a weekly Men's Fraternity program. They serve yogurt and Clif Bars with plenty of coffee and we learn how to be authentic men. It is a great program and I've created some wonderful fellowships.
The meeting is 10 minutes from the downtown office of my software company. It took me ten minutes to head over and arrive at around 8:00am. My day there concluded at 6:30pm, when I rolled out for the one hour commute. I don't waste that hour, instead I am listening to either sermons, talk radio, or books on CD. Of course, some days it's just high-energy music to enjoy and pass the time.
I got home around 7:30pm and spent an hour with my wife and daughter. My daughter was excited to share her time at Communicators for Christ, a sort of "Toastmasters" with a Christian twist. My wife and I then did some bodyweight exercises (a routine we have on DVD) and I continued down to the treadmill to run 3 miles.
Then I took time to write this journal and now it's time with the family, supporting the software company, and helping my daughter with her website.
What an abundant day!
Honestly at 7:30pm the idea of taking the day off was appealing. But I realized:
It is only another 45 minutes of my day to train, and
I HAVE MOMENTUM!
Momentum is very important. You have to create it, but once you have it, hold onto it.
