The Rest Day... one of the many joys in life....

  Today is my rest day...yeay!  The only thing that actually make this rest day better than most is that today I actually have the day off as well...double yeay!  So I slept in (for the first time in weeks), took my time getting ready, cleaned my room and then worked on starting a new motivational wall in my room

  I don't know about you but for me there is something very positive about reading motivational quotes or sayings....it's like it gives me that extra kick I need to workout or do whatever is on the agenda for the day.  So every few months I Will either update or start a new motivational wall in my room for just that purpose.  Here's a pic (To the left) of what I started today.  Some of my favorite quotes.. since they are kinda hard to read from the picture are:

*It's you Vs. You
*IMPACT...Make one
*Nothing hurts more than sitting on the couch
*Happiness is pushing your limits and watching them back down
and
*To first steps, half steps, or any other step you ever thought possible.  To Losing yourself in order to find yourself at the exact same time

  I also had a chance to update my racing wall (See picture to right)...and while doing so it dawned on me that on sunday when I run this years apple harvest fest 5k it will officially be two years since I ran my first race (In fact the apple harvest fest 5k was the first race I ever did..although this year the course is different).  That first year I ran just two races....and the next year I ran three....and this year I have run 5 so far (by the end of the year that should be 8)!  I think I might be addicted =)
