"What's YOUR Time?" The most important stat to Track for SUCCESS!
Breakdown of Today's Episode!
____We had our annual turkey trot this weekend….and it was amazing. Our team had 55 runners this year. A record turn out for us and our “sensei’s run club”. The biggest question after the race is….”what was your time.”
___Measuring your progress is vital and necessary for growth…..until it’s not!
___Sometimes the best metrics are the ones you don’t track, especially someone else’s stats! EX: If you are lifting weights and trying to get stronger, tracking or chasing weight loss is counter intuitive. Or If you are a 30 something natural athlete, comparing yourself to a 20 something year old fitness influencer or enough steroids to make a race horse blush….you are definitely not focused on what progress looks like to you.
___The most vital stat is attendance.
So the QUESTION IS….How are you showing up for yourself daily?
Are you going to workout when it’s not convenient? When you do not feel like it? When nobody is watching, how are you showing up for yourself TODAY?
___I have a good friend I was talking to, and he, like all of us, is having some trouble with consistency. He gets a few weeks of consistent training and then fizzles out….and the cycle starts again and again. SOUND FAMILIAR?
With that in mind here are a few ideas to get on, and stay on track.
Make a covenant with yourself, instead of a lukewarm goal…or wish journal. Write down what you are going to do, pledge to do it, and be serious about this commitment.
Go Slow to go farther. The best way to ruin consistency is with intensity…..especially in the beginning. A one mile walk a day eclipses a 10 mile run that you only do quarterly.
The power of 2. 2 consistent days is better than five in a row every four weeks.
Go anyway mentality: Sore, tired, sad, mad, complacent, burntout, or just plain lazy. Go Anyway. Getting started is by far the hardest part, each step after a little less. Some of your best sessions will come from the toughest beginnings.
Be Accountable: the power of a workout partner, coach, mentor, personal trainer is in accountability.
Don’t do it for you: Having trouble investing in yourself, or don’t think you are worth the effort….you are wrong….but definitely not alone. Remember you are becoming a better version of you so you can give, do, and be more for the people you love. The quote I heard this week was “imagine someone you love switches bodies with you for 60 days. How would you treat their body, so when you give it back they would be healthy? Now do that for yourself.
It's a holiday week, you don’t have to be perfect. Enjoy life, enjoy family, and get the work in when you can, a walk a bike ride or just time connected to loved ones will do wonders for your health. REMEMBER this is the only Thanksgiving 2025 Holiday you will ever have. Next year, number one, is not guaranteed, and next year will be vastly different, and so will you….enjoy the present moment at the expense of your distractions, instead of indulging in your distractions at the expense of your joy!
