Moving Music Monday ~ My Redeemer Lives

Because he lives I can face tomorrow…
Well… let’s see.  I normally have some fast pace ditty to share with the blogosphere on Mondays.  However, today I am going to enlighten you with one of my favorite cool down worship songs.  Cool downs are very important and should not be over looked in your fitness journey.
 
Today’s song is MY REDEEMER LIVES.  I have to admit this is one of my favorite songs ever!!  It resonates with me so much.  I remember seeing the clip below and wanted to share it as well.  I can’t say I would ever do an Ironman race, but man this is a great story.  A father’s love knows no bounds. 
 
God is awesome… just in case you didn’t know.

Until next time… Happy (C.A.N.) Running!

I’M BAAACCKK!!!!

 "Ask yourself: 'Can I give more?'. The answer is usually: 'Yes'."
-Paul Tergat, Kenyan professional marathoner
  

Hey blogosphere… I’M BAAACCKK!
I know I have been gone for awhile, but I have been thinking about you.  I promise I have.  I really miss writing on my blog.  This year started off kind of rocky and to say my motivation waned is an understatement.  I ran on New Years day… you know as an inspirational testament for the year and all. Well… I ran like a good little girl and promptly got a head cold.  WHAT?  Then my sweet baby boy decided to be a giver and gave me a loving case of Strep throat. WHAT? WHAT?  That was all in January… soooooo I was not really healthy enough to get my running game on.
 
So now its February… what’s my excuse?  Nothing… I am straight up being lazy.  I really hoped getting my blog up and going again would spark my motivation.  I have to admit… it is helping.  Just talking about fitness and running is getting me super excited. I know, I know… I so need to get out more, but isn’t that the point.  Also seeing my friends has helped too.  I happened to see people I hadn’t see in ages.  Almost all of them commented on my running adventures.  One said… “I see you running all over Facebook”.  Then another said… “you have really motivated me to get up and run”.  One of my friends called me up because she found a hot deal on a Spring race and she just knew “I” would be interested.  To top it off… I saw a lady running earlier this month and I was like… man I wish that was me… I wish I was running right now.

I admit… it’s tough to get back on that pony when you fall off.   Let me tell you… not only did I fall off my pony… my pony gave me the stink eye, ran away, stopped by a pizza shop and never looked back again.  WHAT’S UP WITH THAT MR. ED?  Well… look here pony… 2014 is going to be my year.  I plan to do big things in my fitness life.  I will do them with you OR without you.  So what’s it going to be?  (That’s my best “mean pony” talk by the way… LOL!)  I am proud to say I have been running, I officially signed back up for my boot camp class AND I have a signed up for several upcoming races too!
SOOOO… who’s with me? 
Come on… the holidays are over and you already ate up all of your Valentine candy.

Let’s do this fitness thing!  I am getting pumped up.

Until next time… Happy (with or with a pony) Running!
