M3:D57 Start

July 9, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

Yesterday I spoke about the things you need to stop doing and today I take the opposite angle–what do you need to start doing?  I'm sure we all have a list of things we should stop doing and hopefully yesterday's post brought that to the front of your mind.  But what do you need to start doing?

It could be as simple as doing more cardio, eating more calories, eating less calories or lifting heavier weights.  Whatever it is, you need to start in order to get to where you need to be.  Even the longest journey begins with the first step.  You had to start the journey somewhere.  Instead of letting things control where you go and when you go there, why not control it all yourself?  Start taking control today.

Life is short–that's a cliche.  The fact is that for most people life is a pretty long time and to live it full of regrets over things you never started is not conducive to your future.  Grab the bull by the horns and take control.  Start controlling your bad habits today.  Start taking a stand for yourself.  Start telling the bully to leave you alone.  That's right, start being your own person.

It is a choice we make my friend.  We can either stand and wallow in our own slop like pigs do or we can start going in the right direction.  Making the correct decisions isn't that hard, but you have to start doing it right away. 

Nike+

Ok, so this device drives me crazy.  I ran on the treadmill today.  I only had a short time because I had an East Coast conference call, so I did 1.3 miles, but the Nike+ only registered 0.66 miles.  Then, in the afternoon, I went for another short (2.5 miles) run.  I even went around the loop that it previously registered as 0.99 miles and yet the total mileage it registered for my entire run was 0.30 miles.  I have read that the problem lies with how secure the sensor is, so I've gone and purchased this:

Hopefully that will improve the accuracy of the device.  This is just frustrating because I've now done 3.8 miles today and I've gotten credit for 0.96!

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

As stated above, I started the day with a 1.3 mile run on the treadmill and ended with a 2.5 mile run in the neighborhood.  My right calf is still sore, but it is better.  I keep doing pressure point relief on it and that seems to be working.
