Airplanes, Hamstrings, and The Secret
The last 4 days were very busy for me. I was in Newport Beach for another fitness mastermind meeting. I LOVE these meetings. Imagine what it is like to be in a room full of 20 fitness professionals who are ready to EXPLODE their business. It truly is awesome because all of us share the same thriving passion and enthusiasm: to help others get fit and live a better lifestyle.
My hamstrings are tight and sore today. And I know exactly why. I did a track workout 3 hrs before my flight on Thursday and I ran 6 miles before flying home on Sunday. Both runs were high intensity so it wasn’t the best idea to plan them before sitting for 3 hours. So, the airplane sitting post run is why my hamstrings are sore. That being said, here is a video of hamstring stretches you can do from a seated position:

It was just over a year ago when I was invited to join this group of fitness entrepreneurs and I can say it has been the BEST decision! This experience has allowed me to take my dreams and put them in action.
For a few years now, I’ve had a vision of where I want to be in my career and living my dream job. Do you have a dream job? Actually, I don’t even like the word job, because I see it as PLAY. If I love my job and love what I’m doing day in and day out…then I want to feel like I’m playing ?
By the way, I do love my job and love helping others get into running shape and fit. It makes for a much better quality of life. However, to get to where I want to go I have discovered what has prevented me from getting there……MY MIND! I gotta believe! You gotta believe!
Right now I’m reading the book The Secret and it has really helped me think about how I see myself and what I believe. Here is a passage I read yesterday while on the plane:
“The Secret is the law of attraction. Everything that’s coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it’s attracted to you by virtue of the images you’re holding in your mind. It’s what you are thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you.”
“Every thought of yours is a real thing—a force”
Good one, huh? Is this you? Can you relate? I sure can. However, because I’m ready to live the life I want to live, I’m doing everything possible to flood my mind with positive and motivating thoughts (like reading this book).
It truly is amazing the power of the mind. I encourage you leave me a comment if you have had or are currently experiencing something in your life that you feel happened because of your mindset. I gave mine and I’d love to hear your story (and so would all my readers).
Happy Monday Everyone!

I need these stretching tips right now as I’m about to fly from DC to San Fran for the San Francisco Marathon!
I read The Secret right before I ran the Delaware Marathon. I had trained for 5 months because I really wanted a BQ but even still, about 3 weeks out, I was seriously doubting myself. After flipping through this book – reading only some of the quotes – I changed my entire way of thinking. And I have to say, I really think that is how I got my BQ!
