Sunset race

As the end of daylight savings time nears, the sun keeps setting earlier and earlier...  This time next week, there won't be any sunshine left after I walk out of the office.  So I spent today enjoying the sunshine on one of the last few 70+ degree days of 2013 with a quick after work run. 

I raced the sun home and ended up getting 4 miles under my belt before I had to call it quits for the day.  But I enjoyed a beautiful sunset run surrounded by the amazing colors of fall.

Like many others, I find it very hard to get motivated this time of year when the sun is gone before I exit the office but I found the picture below today and I think it's a great motivator and mindset changer.  So much so, that I think I'm going to paint it and put it on the wall of my gym and probably my cubicle, too! 



It's amazing how something so simple can be so empowering.  It's important for you to not only remember that you can  do it but also that you push yourself to actually  do it!  So put the phone down or power down the laptop and get to work! You are the only person that can make you better.

Today's workout:  4 mile run + P90X Ab Ripper X
