When I started running, it was a huge accomplishment to run for 30 continuous minutes. It was a gradual process of adding minutes daily and having the mental wherewithal to realize my ability was far greater than I had given myself credit.
Today, I can happily pronounce that I've logged many, many miles over the past 10 years, but what I'm most proud about is that my journey never ends with a race. I'm always planning the next, before I finish the last. I envision my future races to be better, faster and more memorable.
Crossing the finish line is an awesome accomplishment and it's often THE goal when I talk to other runners. "I just want to finish." It doesn't matter if it's pretty or fast. What matters is what happens in the end. Two arms raised at the finish line.
But what about those of us that have that burning drive to be better? Those of us who don't just want to finish but rather want to finish strong and fast and dare I say....competitively. I would have never considered myself a fast runner. Average at best. But something inside of me kept whispering that I was better. I was fast. I was a Boston Qualifier.
Are you that person? Do you long to qualify for Boston, but you just haven't been able to get faster? Do you just want to be in the higher and faster echelon of runners? Do you secretly want to not just finish a race, but actually race it. I'm not talking elite here. I'm talking top 20 - 25 percent.
My life and running career changed when I was introduced to high intensity cross-training and optimal nutrition. I went from average to speedy (for me) in a matter of months. I dropped unnecessary weight, leaned out my body fat ratio and accomplished some pretty cool race feats, including qualifying for Boston, which I never thought possible.
That's me over the course of 60 and 120 days. I've been a runner and I will continue to be a runner. It just took stepping up my game and focusing on nutrition that I became a better runner.
I'm looking for five people who have that same desire as I did to join a 60-day Insanity / Shakeology challenge with me. If you believe it, you can achieve it. Let me help you go get it. You'll get my daily support, motivation and advice!
Who is ready to be better, stronger, faster? I can show you how.
The day I accomplished what I had only dreamed about in the past. Getting ready to cross the finish line in qualifying fashion. I believed in me and I worked really hard. I believe in you and you CAN do this too. Ask me how!
