begins with the first step.
A week ago I jogged 10 miles. Not too bad, considering where I was a year ago.
Here are a couple of links I want to share and comment on briefly...
SECOND LIFE This is the story of Matt Long, a NYC Fire Fighter. He was super competitive, in great physical shape, and had the world by the tail.
Until one day, when he was riding his bike to work. And a bus ran over him. And the handle bars jammed into his stomach and tore out his insides.
The story is truly inspirational to see how Matt overcame incredible odds, more than 40 surgeries, and emotional struggles to complete the NYC marathon.
My life and injuries don't look so bad any more.
FOR BIG GUYS WHO RUN is a common sense look at the fact that even though we are exercising, we still need too be aware of what we eat.
The thought that I can eat whatever whenever is a myth. No one lives like that and leads a healthy life. For a limited time in high school and maybe into our early 20's, our body can stand that type of treatment.
But, not for long.
It is not just about the gym or working out more, it is about finding balance in life.
Enough said.
Stay motivated.
Think long term.
Don't expect overnight results.
