    Sometimes, when I'm running, I'll ask myself "If I were being chased by zombies, would I be ready to give up?".

    About RUNNING...

    "It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants to quit."

    "Make it happen, SHOCK every single one of them!"

    Sweat is your fat crying. I know it's cheesy but my friend and I use it to motivate one another when we are dripping from a workout and want to slow down

    "When you feel like quitting think about why you started."
    LOVE that! I know I'm going to have that running through my head on a hard day.

    Strive for progress not perfection. The only person you are in competition with is the you from yesterday. A year from now you will wish you had started today.

    There are too many people out there rooting for you to fail for you to actually give them the satisfaction!

    It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing. 8 weeks for friends to notice your body changing & 12 weeks for the rest of the world.

    Remember if it was easy everyone would be skinny.

    The only place were "success" comes before "work" is in the dictionary.

    You're body hears everything your mind says.

    Unless you puke, faint, or die, keep going!!!

    Since I am not a morning person, and I try to have all my workouts be in the morning, I came up with a mantra that helps me get out of bed when the alarm goes off.

    "The hardest movement you'll make all day is this first one to get out of bed."

    It helps when I know that even my workout will be easier than the first move to get out of bed.
