Do Your Best.

Back in September this was the theme we introduced for the kids' 2010-2011 school year.
And I promised to reveal this great theme in my post here.
But then I didn't deliver on that promise. Until today.

Today I read this sign, carved by the hubs and hanging in a prominent locale in our kitchen.
I must scurry by it a gazillion times a day.
But today I paused, spun on my heels and read it.
Seconds passed on the clock as the words sunk in.

"Do your best".
(I can do that)

It doesn't say "Do it all"
(Which is good, cause I can't do that)

I carried on and realized quickly that I'd accepted these three words as my theme for today.
And actually, after mulling it over in the shower this afternoon,
I've decided to ride this theme straight into the New Year...

'Cause I can do that.

I Could Be A Runner.....

I could be a runner.
I've figured out the secret.


Wait for it.
Cause it's a good one.




MOTIVATION.


But not to be in shape or tone my bum.




But I have found a new way to get motivated.


Its all about the end of the run.
Getting home, or to the pool, or the best one in the past couple of weeks....TO THE PORT MAC.



So really it's all about the dropofff..or the pick up.


The one way run. None of this loop, out and back juvenile stuff.



I can run with a purpose, and if I have to.

Yesterday, I got dropped off by the boys 3 miles from home.

And it was an uphill climb back.





I have no excuse, I have found the secret to my success.



No where is that port mac??
