I’m a big thinker.  A planner.  A deliberate goal seeker.  I over-work myself.  I over-do it.  Pedal-to-the-medal!  Sometimes….it’s exhausting!

This approach to life – while passionate – can blow up on you if you don’t watch it closely.  Even a Maserati gets a flat tire sometimes!  With the running of the London Marathon today — it brings my mind back to my Marathon training strategy.  If I had gone out for a.l.l. of those required training runs — with the weight of 26.2 miles on my back – all at once  — the sheer burden of it , well….I would still be on the couch, instead of a Marathoner with a shiny (and VERY Cool) Finisher’s medal.  Big goals, need to be tackled in little pieces.  One run at a time, sometimes one tree at a time, one street sign at a time.  One — whatever-it-takes at a time.

I’m going to try going back to my Marathon mentality.  One day at a time, will bring me the prize I seek.  Strength, energy,  healthier food choices, self control, and (yes) weight loss.

Sage advice from an American hero.  Great thanks Mr. President!

Ciao for now….Diane
