Motivation is Key

My yoga move update: So I managed to hold the first pose (the Scissor Legs Side Crow) for about two seconds. The second pose (the One-Legged Arm Balance) was a bit less successful. I could hold it for about half a second because I have not regained the flexibility necessary for this move. Therefore, combining the two hasn't quite happened. First I need to work on upper body strength and flexibility. But let's be clear: I -will- do this pose one day.

Running, however, is something that I don't have the same motivation for. I attempted to run on the treadmill today. Thank goodness I was the only one in the gym, so embarassing. So when I read the Words That Move You slideshow on FitSugar, I knew I had to share it. Here are some of my favorites:

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing; that's why we recommend it daily." — Zig Ziglar

"Fall seven times, stand up eight." —Japanese proverb

"It's a dream until you write it down, and then it's a goal."– Anonymous

Treadmill, don't think I won't be back tomorrow. You're totally going down.
