When Tragedy Strikes - USE IT!
Yesterday was my outdoor training day and despite the 96 degree heat, I was amped and ready. Shortly before leaving my office, I learned of the death of Michael Jackson. I was floored! I thought about the loss of his life, Farah Fawcett, and Ed McMahon and was reminded of just how critical TODAY is. I worked my @$$ off in that heat. Kept hydrated and pushed through the pain. I have goals I want to achieve long before my end and I realize time waits for no one. This morning, I woke up with a renewed state of mind. Everything I do, everything I say, everything I THINK MATTERS. Words are thoughts, thoughts are words and ultimately, words ARE POWER. There’s a new song in my spirit today and I want it to be there for years to come. I am determined to be the ME I KNOW I AM, mentally, spiritually, and phsyically. So each day, a new change will come starting with the girl in the mirror.
I feel great about the workout I had last night and am looking forward to my workout tomorrow. I’m motivated and I am determined to NOT BE DENIED this time around.

Muscling through the heat - way to go!!! I know what it’s like and it’s tough!

Thank you! You’re right, it is tough, especially for me. I have never been involved in athletics outside of intramural volleyball one season. I typically do other things that are high in activity but never have I worked like this. My body is ACHING but I LOVE IT! I’m so psyched. I just keep telling myself, "halter tops by August".
