f-O-c-u-S

Tonight, I did it. I put the excuses aside and pushed Start on the Tread Climber. And it actually feels good; but of course there were moments that sucked.

I have a thing with over-exaggerating time. I stare at a clock, surprised it's not moving faster. Maybe that's a part of being an anxious bug, but it makes working out even more painful. So this time, I decided to change my focus. I put on the 849th Survivor premiere and began walking. I didn't look at the time until I was nearly 25 minutes in. For me, that is a huge victory! Now, after I saw 25 minutes, I decided I'd go until 30 before writing this post. Then the walk changed. I became hyper-aware of each step, each muscle working, and each second going by painfully slow. The last 5 minutes was more excruciating then every single minute that came before it, all because my focus changed.

So there you have my lesson for the day. A lesson that I teach to clients every single day; change your focus, and you will see change.

PS - I am honest when I say that I was barely moving tonight, but I am realizing that whether you're running or "barely moving", it's the giving the most you can with where you're at that actually counts.
