I find that one of the main reasons that people give for quitting workout routines is that they have no partner to work out with. Some of the benefits of a partner include someone to talk with and compare tips and tricks, someone to hold you accountable and someone that encourages you. So when looking for a partner make sure that you find one that is on the same fitness level and is just a driven as you. When you begin a workout routine it's easy to start telling everyone because it's new and exciting. This can also be a great time to find a new workout partner or try something new that you might not have. Surrounding yourself with positive people on a similar path as you can give you the motivation. Think about those days that you are lagging  just seeing someone else doing it makes me want to do it and in return you will give it back with your dedication.

Todays workout is cardio and I want you to aim for 60 min. You need to break it up into 20 min sections and switch up the type of cardio. You can pick a circuit that you likes, run for a bit, walk for a bit or even do jumprope/jumping jacks circuit. I always tell people that running clears your minds and the faster you run the faster your mind is clear. You can outrun anger, sadness, frustration and any other things that may cause stress. I had the privilege of being on a run with a really great friend last night when she got the call that her grandmother had passed away. It was right where she needed to be when she got the call and we will forever run in her honor. As we're running up the Milburn hill a huge gust of wind blowing against us is pushing us back and in that moment I know her grandma is with us. I think to myself she is giving Becca the sign that things in life are going to try to push you down but you are so strong and you are going to make it through. As we are recapping our run I tell her about the sign and she proceeds to tell me that at that very moment she was praying for peace and comfort for her grandmother (one of the classiest ladies Becca knows). We got to the bottom of Yaeger hill and hugged for a few minutes and as we proceeded to walk up the hill to the house the clouds move and sun shined as bright as ever and we soaked it up. So you see there are signs everywhere you just have to be willing to open your mind and look with your heart. I'm so thankful to have such a strong friend and so blessed to be able to help her through such a trying time in her life. Love and Prayers XOOXOXO.

It knows that it must out run the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up you had better be running!
