I was reading Tracy's blog at McMillianElite and saw this one, written by one of their athletes- and I loved what he was saying. Now, we may not all be elite runners, but we are moms, therefore we are athletes. "Listen" to what he has to say and think about how you can apply it to YOUR life.

On another side note, I just want to encourage people out there to look outside of yourself and find something good, admirable or incredible about someone you spend time with. Borrow that good, admire it and help it to fuel your motivation to rise to your own individual success in your life. I have teammates and friends that I look up to for their abilities and mindsets about certain things. It invigorates me knowing that I too can be as strong, persistent and passionate.

One passion that continues to come up in my athletic endeavors is the pureness of being the best athlete that we can be. Can I do more? Can I eat better? Can I train smarter? Can I recover and rest better? Can I do what I must? Can I be a better athlete than I am right now? If so, then train and go get it!
