F it...

Many folks have a common thought or saying for doing or not doing the thing that should or should not be done.

Alarm goes off, time to get out of bed for the workout... F    it, go back to sleep.
Get to work/school, there is a box of donuts, F    it, have another
Go to lunch, look at the menu, F    it, have a cheeseburger
Go back to work/school, need to finish the project, F    it, go to the bar
Time to go home, F    it, have another drink
Sunday morning, time to go to Church... F    it, skipping this week

The "F    its" is the universal term for choosing the option inconsistent with our current objectives and contrary to the better good of those we serve.
November and December are the most common months for getting the "F    its". Why not, everyone else is doing it.

Thanks to the 19 folks who worked out with us this morning. If you hadn't made, we would have had to work out without you.

Coolest Race You'll Ever Run

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/243052697

Peachtree Road Boot Camp has spent years developing ways to keep exercise fun and interesting. We try to think outside the box while providing workouts that are challenging with strict adherence to our discipline.

The MLK Day 5K is a fitness event that attempts to do the same thing. We think we have a hit!!

We have commitments from Grady HS, North Atlanta HS, Mays HS, and perhaps Morehouse College and Corretta Scott King HS for DRUMMERS!!! We will have 120+ drummers lining the 3.1 mile race course. The course will never leave the Park.

The constant beating of the drums will provide a vibe and a rhythm that will keep your paces up tempo.

Beautiful Piedmont Park has given us a USAFT Certified race course that runs over grass, road, gravel, wooden bridge and the Active Oval's crushed rock. Anyone who has ever run in Piedmont Park will Love this course.

Days in a Row

An apple a day keeps the Doctor away. Another Day another Dollar. Tomorrow is another day. All we have is today!  Today is another chance for a new beginning. Everyday is. Everyday is a priceless opportunity.

When we are injured and cant work out, it hurts. When we miss for no good reason, it really hurts.

Working Out Vs Training

Barb, Cindy, Kathleen, Lisa, Susie Mac, Harroitt, Prancer, Reba, and Virginia have missed 2 or less days. They all have run in the rain in the last two days. They all work and or run a house with kids. They all have the pressures of meeting the demands life throws at us.

When these girls wake up before dawn to the sound of rain drops knowing its cold, and they put one shoe on and then the other and walk out the door, they are no longer working out. They are training. Nothing is going to get in the way of their daily exercise.

Run, Eat, Sleep, Repeat

Consistency is the name of the game in fitness as well as many other worthy pursuits in life. a Daily routine that becomes a lifestyle can have profound improvement on our lives.

The trick is to show up every day. We eat, sleep and workout daily. Miss one of those and the others get thrown off. Sometimes we work out a little harder. Sometimes life can wear us down. The trick is to recover quick enough so that we feel refreshed the next day and able to work out.

Recovery requires treatment. How do we treat ourselves? Get to bed at a reasonable hour. Get a massage. Drink plenty of water. Eat healthy.

Drinking Coke or Beer and staying up late staring at a screen is not healthy. There is NOTHING on the computer or TV that is going to add anything to the quality of our lives. Yes, there is a ton of entertainment there, but most of it is crap. Do these overpaid professional athletes give a flying flip about us? NO, they don't know we exist. Missing a workout with friends to watch a football game is throwing away an opportunity for nothing.

90% if the garbage we eat is useless poison. We don't need it. Don't believe us? Dont eat for 48 hours. After your body detoxes, you will feel amazingly better. Most of us could eat half of what we typically consume and get healthier.

Constant overload of everything is so 1999. The ME, Me Me, greed and gluttony days are dying with the Baby boomers. Spartan Living is making a huge comeback!
