You Can Do It.

Have you ever found yourself saying, about anything- "Oh I could never do THAT"? I hear this a LOT. And I have certainly said it before. I said that about running. I said that about a 220lb leg press. I said that about driving the Ford Fiesta (stick shift) alone to NYC from Chicago. I said that about speaking in front of large audiences. I said that about getting up to do cardio at 6am every morning when Jay or Jenny  said I had to.

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF. 

You can do anything you set your mind to. Period. 

Stop saying "I can't" and start saying, "I will." Get Focused. Believe in yourself and STOP DOUBTING. Doubting is a form of fear, and you need to face that HEAD ON and say "I will NOT give in to fear. I refuse to be a wimp. I can and WILL do this."

I was talking to Amy about my crazy work and travel schedule. This is only going to continue to be more crazy. I said that I feel that I really have to HAVE TO get myself to bed earlier and wake up EARLIER to do my running first thing. It just is what it is......after the end of a long conference followed by a cocktail party (and yes I'm fine with not drinking at these), rolling into your hotel room at 9pm, it's REALLY DIFFICULT to have energy to do a workout. Have I done it? Yes. But, I'd rather face my training with my morning energy, and then head through my busy day KNOWING I CRUSHED IT that morning.

My first thought was, "This is not gonna happen. I can't do it." HOGWASH. 

Wow never thought I'd use THAT phrase on my blog. 

Anyway, I've done it before. I can and will do it again. What is more important than this? I hate missing my workouts now. I hate it. But I also know that my energy and availability later in the day is just less and less every week.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your biggest "I can't do that" thing that you are hoping to conquer?

P.S. I am in San Francisco for a conference so please forgive the lack of vlogs. ;-( Looking into a flip-cam so I can better vlog on the road. In the mean time, check out a killer training vlog including Lindsey Vonn for Under Armour. #BADASS

Also here is my workout song for today. Killer.
