Motivation Monday !!

Good morning everyone....Happy Monday !!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  We had amazing weather in Melbourne so I hope you were all outdoors making the most of it.

My weekend was spent cleaning up builders mess as we have had the last of the touch ups done in the studio.  Very exciting !!!

As I posted yesterday on the Urbanfit Studio Facebook page my hubby was in Canberra running the marathon - with a fractured toe.  Unfortunately he wasn't able to complete it, he had to stop at the 37 km mark.  Needless to say he was and is, extremely disappointed.  So much training - physical and mental goes into training for any event that unavoidably it becomes a bitter pill to swallow when things don't go the way you want.  Half the battle with running a marathon is just getting to the start line without any injuries.

Unfortunately for hubby the last few weeks have been tough with foot injuries, culminating in the ugly fractured toe.  It could have been so much easier for him to not fly up to Canberra and not even start but he so desperately wanted to follow through.

I think 37 kms is quite an effort, so well done babe!  But despite the disappointment, and subsequent pain, on reflection this experience had made him more determined to train harder, listen to his body and do it all again in July at the Gold Coast Marathon.  Just got to pick yourself up and keep going.  What a great attitude !

I though I would share with you this morning a great inspirational video, please watch it and Im sure you'll go away thinking you can do anything you want to do... Enjoy and have a great day.........
