Finishing off 2011...

Long story short: my sister and I were talking about new year's resolutions- or PRE new years resolutions.
Are those an option? Can we do that? Hell yeah. I mean we can do whatever we please, but of course you can decide to finish the year strong. Then I got to thinking....

In running you are trained to sprint the last 100 meters. It's a way of finishing off strong regardless of the distance you've run. Straighten your back. Look forward (at or past the finish line). Relax your shoulders. Swing your arms back and forth as fast as you can and most importantly: PICK. UP. THOSE. LEGS. breathe in. breathe out. focus. and then....

and then that rush. It is the most amazing feeling I have ever felt. Legs shaking. heart beating too fast. Goosebumps from the cool breeze making contacts with warm sweaty skin. Pasty white skin color on your face and that huge smile across the face that says " I did it ".

It is in those last final seconds that everything we know is put up as a test with 99% security that you CAN DO IT. YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE , YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN. So you suck it up. And you do what you know what you've trained to do. You give that last final push and then you do it- most of the time you achieve it.

So think of how you want to get to the 2011 finish line. Think, plan it, DO IT. You can do it- you have enough time. All you need is to PICK. UP. THOSE. LEGS.
