dis·ci·pline
ˈdisəplən/
- behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and

I remember, a couple of years ago, seeing on Twitter, there was a post by a Hydration Company, Nuun, whose products I have used when training for marathons. The post was a question that asked, "How do you stay motivated on the treadmill or trainer?"
I have talked, in the past, about the treadmill and how many in the running community do not like it, calling it a "dreadmill?"
For the record, I would rather do all my training miles, outside, in 52 degree weather.
But I don't live in a climate that is 52 degrees, every day!
I live in Nebraska.....AND WINTER IS HERE!
And, I'm running a Spring half marathon in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Running a Spring half marathon, or specifically, a half marathon in early May, training begins......NOW!
So, if I want to be ready to run 13 point 1 miles, I have to find a way.
"If it is important to you, you'll find a way.
If not, you'll find an excuse."
THIS.IS.IMPORTANT.TO.ME.
DISCIPLINE.
A couple of years ago, someone I knew told me about some health issues he was having.
He's a young guy. At the time, he had been married less than a year. His wife was pregnant, due that Spring, with their first child...a daughter.
He's a young guy. At the time, he had been married less than a year. His wife was pregnant, due that Spring, with their first child...a daughter.
Some of what he is going through was controllable.
I told him my story of the CHEERLEADER asking me, about 19 years ago, if I loved her. IF I LOVED HER? Of course I loved her.....which is what my friend said to me about his wife, with her standing right there.
I told him basically the same thing the CHEERLEADER told me. Don't just say you love her, show her you love her by taking care of yourself.
A WAY....or....AN EXCUSE?
What about you?
What is important to you that you won't find excuses for?
How bad do you want it?
Be DISCIPLINED and GO.FOR.IT!
