Whether you think you CAN or you CAN’T — you’re right!

.

So last night I went for a quick run after teaching my two yoga sessions…it was me against the daylight so I only got in about 1&1/4 maybe 1&1/2 mile under my feet. That was completely OK with me the fresh air felt amazing.

.

As I was running my mind wondered to the thoughts of “wow I can’t believe I actually used to run upward of 13miles at a time….all the way to 18’s, 20+’s and that one time I ran 24miles and that one time 26+ in a single run.

.

Something Im SUPER proud of myself for doing BUT GUESS where I started…I started with the initial thought of “I wonder if I can condition myself to run a 5k again”. It had been probably 10 years since I ran a steady 3miles AND I was 1 year postpartum at that time too sooo I really wasn’t sure. But I started something. I did a 5k plan and I did it. So after accomplishing that and went for a 10k. After that I thought MAYBE I could do a 1/2 marathon. Then I said to myself THERE IS NO WAY I could run a marathon. Well. I was right. If I kept that mindset.

.

I was in control. Whether I said I COULD do it. Or COULDN’T do it. I was right. Here’s the thing though. I believed I could. I just had to make that happen. Happen through consistency. Through commitment. Through dedication. It doesn’t happen overnight AND THAT is the problem MANY people have!

.

If it doesn’t happen fast enough — we say “I can’t do it” and toss in the towel. BUT I believe you CAN! We need to get out of our heads with this need for INSTANT attainment! It took me A LONG TIME to condition my body to run a marathon. No one said start today. Run a marathon tomorrow. *I say* Start SOMETHING today and keep at it. Build up to bigger challenges and goals! YOU CAN do it. You just have to:

.

1. START

2. Stay committed!
