You say you want to be at the top of your game mentally and physically but are you willing to do all the things necessary to reach that point? Sometimes doing the necessary things to maintain focus and to keep on track can be difficult. Many of us will have to make serious lifestyle adjustments along the way. For instance; a partying, unstructured life will never get you to where you say you want to be. As an old friend once said, "you can't soar with the eagles if you're out prowling with the dogs every night." Continuing to associate with people who live a kind of day to day, pleasure centered life will only distract and possibly sabotage your best intentions. Perhaps that's how you once lived but now you realize that it's a dead end route which ultimately leads nowhere except to a life of habitual pleasure seeking, which for most people, includes consuming copious amounts of alcohol. That is the true "opiate" of the masses these days. More on this subject soon.
I could go on but you get the picture-in order to reach your goals changes have to be made that will take resolve,organization and discipline. It's all part of the process but it can be an enjoyable process when the end means a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.
40 minutes easy running ---followed by stretching and weight work-- I figure in a few weeks I'll try some pace runs over a mile course. For the mind I studied some info on healthy alternatives to Gatorade and how the body best recovers in hot weather. As each day goes by we work the mind and the body.
What did you do today?
