3 miles...1 hour

So as part of my goals to "become" a finisher I have been walking 3miles everyday-ish.
Now when I say walking I mean Walking... I wanted to start out running but took one jiggly bounce forward and realized that was not happening any time soon!
So I walk my 3 miles going down 3 differnet sections on the canal and I want to get the most out of it so I get my mine on the workout focus on breathing in through the nose out the mouth. Chanting in my head things like: I fat is melting off my body, air is inters easily into my lungs and my heart pumps blood effortlessly!
Well as I a stungling to to not get winded as I do this. A runner my hight with, I kid you not, 0% bodyfat. She sprints right passed me doesn't even notice! Then as I watch disapaer into the distance I notice she takes the canal that is blocked off at the other end and I know she is going to have to turn around. ( I don't know if she knew that or not) so I make my way down to the side of the canal that pops out near my house and I took maybe 10 steps on this canal before I see her! She had already gone don to the end and turned around and passed me going the other direction before I even made to the passed the little gate thing!!! I was, as I'm sure you would, discouraged! I kept walkling chanting to myself...But ready I was ready to clothesline the twing! So I will now be walking at a diffrent time of day. that is until I can make my 3 miles in 15min instead of an hour....Well this is just a step right I will have many more on my jounry to health. I will be that skinny little runner who we all hate to see....well I will have still have my girly curves (thats part of my chant:) but will someday be happy to run 3 miles. I can't wait for the day!
So this is one way t o get motivation! What is something that has motivated you?

Today is now, tomorrow is not, and yesterday never was.

I noticed that my fashion changes with my mood. As does my hair color!
I feel I will alway see myself as a blonde. Happy, strong, stand out, and fearless with nothing to worry about. However my hair is a burgandy color, because I am on a mission.
I am determined to be better. Determined to find out what is missing and fix it. Ready. Ready to put my head down and just Go!
I want push limits I have unwittingly put on myself.
I want my health to improve. I am walking 3 miles (almost) everyday.
I want my writing to improve. I am signing for "fundamentals of writing" this week.
I want to see the world. I am saving up to get my passport.
Yep I am not a blonde who can relax and enjoy the spoils of a war not fought.
I'm dark haired warrior on a mission to better her world.
You may be asking why my hair color is somehow important enough to make it on to a blog... The truth is...it isn't.
Its just a way of reminding myself everytime I look in the mirror and miss my blonde locks, that I am determined to reach my goals. So I can lay back and enjoy who I have become.
I challange you to find something that makes you remember your goals everyday. And tell me about it!
