Christopher McDougall: Are we born to run?



For the past 8 weeks I have averaged 60 to 70kms a week, I am injury free... oh and can I add, on a calorie restricted diet and low body fat? Yep! We are born to move. I find distance running quiet primal, I also find it is mentally challenging, its not usually the body that wants to give up, its the mind, lucky I live by MindSweat, makes it so much easier!

My fav quotes from this video:
'imagine a world where everybody could engage in exercise'
'restore our natural ability'
'whole lotta fun'

Trust me, it is fun. We are born to do it, so why wouldn't you?

Thanks so much to fellow B Attack instructor Heath for sending me this video :)

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Info for those asking......

I will be in the Amateur show starting 10.30am on Saturday 12th. I am not sure what time my division will be on, but will be finished before 1pm as the Pro's come on then.

See you there!

In a whirlwind!

Realising I have a lot to do and little time to do it in! 6 weeks from today I will have arrived in Melbourne for FitX www.fitx.com.au to not only compete, but to launch Mind Sweat. The following week I will be in Perth for the NPC-IFBB 2011 O'Mara Classic. The week after that in Sydney for the IFBB Australasians. March will be amazing! From there? Who knows.

Right now, I eat, sleep, train, work, cook, parent, cardio and when I can, lye in the sun :)

Had a great shoot on Tuesday with Marc Thyssen www.marcthyssen.com , and had a ball doing it with Chrissy from www.alterreal.com.au. Lots of laughs, Chrissy you are a funny gal! and there where some awesome pics taken :)

Gotta go, train hard!

Why do people not care?

The way you present yourself affects the way you feel about yourself and the initial impression people will have of you. I can not believe what I see in a professional environment sometimes. Sloppy shirts, inappropriate footware, ill-fitting pants... I could go on. Today, its someone young that is irritating me, especially, why they would not care about at least looking like they are young and confident. Call me superficial if you want, but presenting a confident, respectable looking self, will attract like minded people into your life.

All it does for me is make me think 'well if you dont give a damn about yourself, I can't be bothered with you either'.

Beautiful weather

Love summer :)

Are You Magnetic?

Apart from this being a great song by Faker, the chorus has been buzzing around my head:

And you check your phone 'cause you're looking for an escape,
sometimes when we fall we just land in the right place,
'cause we're magnetic and we land in the right place,
are you magnetic do you land in the right place?

Sometimes it is easy not to make a decision because the consequences can seem quiet overwhelming. Although this song has a completely different meaning than what I am taking from it, imagine if, everytime you made a major decision you went into it with only possitivity. I like the idea of feeling 'magnetic' and feeling at the end of the day you will land in the 'right place'.

Let yourself fall and try feeling magnetic today, it is quiet empowering!
