Be a warrior

People who like to run intrigue me.  The need to beat the ground and huff and puff, coupled with lean athletisim is a beautiful thing. When I watch runners I am enamored with thier relentless determination.  Most runners are head held high, chest out, rythmac pitter patter and I pod booming.  Running is for some a religous experience, thier way to cope with the world....I wish it was this way for me.  In my head I am elegant and strong.  I have a determined look on my face, while I am jamming out to some PCD.  I am the Nike commercial.   In reality I am a hot MESS.  I would LOVE to love running.  The honest truth is I just dont get it.  I think my body was just not designed for it.  I could let this be the excuse I use.  I could let this stop me in my tracks.  But I definentlay have a desire to concoquer this Goliath, running has become for me.  So to push myself into this world or better yet, to back myself into a cornor, making myself have no other choice...I signed up for a 5K. If you know me I HATE to waste money.  So if I sign up and put my hard earned dollars on the line I will do it! I may kick and scream but I will do it.  This isnt just any 5K....It is the WARRIOR dash. In this 5k you must jump fire, run through mud (better than a spa day), and be warrior like. This makes absolute sense to me because that is what runners are...WARRIORS.  To be a runner, you not only have to have physical strength, you must also posses Mental strength.  If your head isnt right, you will not last long.  NO matter how much your heart may want it.
  So 2011 for me is the year of running.  I also have made goals that will fall in line if I can conquer this, but for now..running is the focus.  So what is the thought provoking question, you ask? Here you go...  What are your goals this year?  Not resolutions, your goals?  What is the secret most desire of your heart and what are you doing to bring them to reality?   the time is now!  Don't procrastinate.  Be a warrior!
