Spicy Life
Posted on August 18, 2010
If it’s true and variety really is the spice of life, then my work out life is seriously zesty!
I remind people often that I don’t love running, I love the Marine Corps – a reference to my constant training in an attempt to post a strong finish in the Marine Corps Marathon this Halloween.
Having somehow missed the running addiction I can say I look for cross training opportunities all the time. Most Wednesdays I share a personal training session with my pal – she is a complete hard core work out maniac, and even though she looks like a princess I know the truth…she loves throwing heavy things around just as much as I do!
Today’s workout OWNED ME. Seriously left me tired to the core. But there we were high-fiving about our chin up progress. Listen, I’m not exactly young, and certainly not hanging with the fitness elite…but chin ups?? How cool is that?
Having a work out buddy is essential when your goal is lofty. Lofty and clear. And audacious. Thank you work out buddy!
Aww… Said workout buddy chiming in here! I couldn’t agree more. Having a workout partner is a powerful tool. You motivate each other in so many ways – getting to the workout, during the workout, and even talking about it afterward!
When I workout with Judith, I see extraordinary mental toughness. I want that and will strive for that. By aligning myself with people doing big things and doing them right, it steps up my game. That’s what partnering does for me!
Move over Jillian. Judith is being very modest. She’s not just your averagework-out buddy, she’s the ultimate motivator. She’ll kill your negative self-talk with one look. Don’t even think about whining! Thanks Judith!
Wow! Thank you for the feedback!
I truly enjoy motivating the girls I workout with and I’m looking forward to 2011 1/2 Iron Man. Let’s do this Judith 1/2 Iron Man 2011!! Yay!!!
You always inspire me Judith…..great blog!!!
