Motivation

Sometimes you need something to pull yourself out of the same-old training routines and kick it into high gear. I use races.

I tell people all the time that staying fit is easy. Just sign up for a race a few times a year and train for them. There's nothing like almost doing your best to show you that you could train just a little harder.

And pushing yourself to race pace is a killer workout. You'll go back to training faster and stronger.

I stumbled across the picture of that cat going haywire on the bologna and immediately thought "Wow, he's motivated. He's almost got it in his mouth and isn't going to let go NO MATTER WHAT." How do you think of yourself during race day or your hard workouts? Like that cat?

In this podcast, I talk about how my recent races motivated me and much more. I take you with me on my run to work, motivated to get there before my boss get's pissed that I'm late. I also cover a bunch of other topics, so join in for the fun!

Loved the Show.

Can you put a link to where you got Kai's Trail-a-bike or a pic of it. I've got a four year old little girl who would love to go ride with her daddy.

BTW - the first time you said 'Car Up' I looked up to see if there was a car.

Look at REI.COM and go to bikes>kids bikes> Novara Afterburner. Lots of other brands out there as well.

Oh, oh, so you can't understand my southern belle accent can you? Have you ever thought it's cause you're the one with the funny accent? :-) I explain nothing clear as crystal...I guess you will have to subject yourself to all 21 of my southern accented episodes to figure me out.
cool show by the way.

I'm sorry, can you write more clearly? I'm having trouble understanding your accent.

Seriously, why are all the best podcasts made in the South?
