Almost 3 Weeks In - This Is Going to Work! [exercise and business goals]

I sometimes feel the same. What would I do with money. I sometimes hangout with friends and have fun. But its always same the next day. I feel frustrated. There are two reason I guess that are responsible for this feeling.
I don't like my nature of work/job.
I don't have a girl friend.
Don't know what to do.

nice share...

Great share buddy. We often need to keep the awareness going in to get out of our comfort zone and get things done. Great video!

Physical exercise can reduce mental frustration and give relief. It also promotes good health. In time of physical exercise we can reorganize our thoughts as well. All of us know these, but neglect the exercise!!

I love this post! thanks for giving me a new idea and strategy to raise my motivation!!

Oh, my thread is alive! Woot!

So the race is on Sunday (19th). I'm hoping to complete 5km in under 25mins, wish me luck. Been working my ass off lately as well, hit record profit today and it's only 3PM here.

Anyone reading this thread and thinking "hey this is great, I should do this" - just do it already. First few days are the toughest, after that things start to fall into place and you'll never look back!

^^thanks bot.

Running and physical exercise in general can really
have a positive effect on a person's general outlook
and on their productivity.
One thing you've got to watch out for, though, is to
get "hooked" on the exercise bug and let it become
addictive. Moderation is key here.

Good luck with your run today My bro did something similar 5 or 6 years ago and the training he did for the marathon turned into a habit which he's kept up every since. I find cycling really enjoyable but definitely want to start mixing in some running soon. Getting away from the PC and exercising makes the time you spend in front of computer much more productive.

Let us know how your run goes.

^^Yeah man it was fun! Couldn't do a good time, because there were over 10k runners total and it was all a big mess. Started somewhere in 8-9k and finished in the top 1k so I'm happy! Can't wait for the next event, woot!

New member here. Haven't gotten around to the introduction post, yet, but I'm just going to jump in the mix.

I have recently come to the conclusion that lack of exercise is a major factor preventing me from taking my life to the next level. Fortunately, this is something I can change. Or rather, something I took action on today to begin changing.

I read a quote somewhere that eloquently states: "An active mind cannot fully exist in an inactive body". I think there is great wisdom in that statement! Exercise gets the internals moving and keeps the machine well-oiled, head to toe.

Recently, I have spent a good amount of time thumbing through the pages of the warrior forum and other IM-related sites. I'm starting to wrap my heard around the different avenues and techniques to make money online. Most importantly, I'm getting into the mindset that I can accomplish my goals!

I have also begun building up a photography business that has really started growing. I'm shooting paid gigs, location and studio, and providing a quality product. Website will be online soon.

My goal is to create a full-time salary and beyond by establishing passive income streams, and to supplement it with some active income in the form of photography. I will have the luxury of selecting projects to work on based solely on how well they resonate with me. I am absolutely fixated on utilizing passive income to purchase freedom from my corporate slave master (I work in IT). My days of working a 9-5 are limited. I have tunnel vision right now!

Every morning I wake up and thank <insert name of your God here> that all of my needs are provided for. I'm well-fed, clothed and sheltered. Following the expressions of gratitude, I begin envisioning what it will be like to wake up every morning with the freedom to decide what I want to do that day. This is such an inspiring and motivating feeling!

Back to the gratitude, I am also thankful that I am still physically capable of exercising. Today, I made a commitment to stop taking this privilege for granted. There are many people who are not as fortunate. I know this decision will have a meaningful impact on all areas of my life, including my IM goals. This will take me to the next level.

Your story is very inspiring. Glad to hear the run went well.

All the best!

Thanks for the advice and encouragement! Looking forward to my own >$1500 days.

As far as exercise is concerned, how important is weight lifting in comparison to cardio for overall health benefits (not just muscular)?

Congratulations on your race result!

I've been doing something very similar recently. Been training for a 10km race. Not sure when I'll do it though... having a fair bit of leg troubles recently, unfortunately

3 months of training between a 5km to half marathon? Wow. You're going to have to put in some work! I can't imagine improving that much in such a short amount of time!

I highly recommend Hal Higdon's training programs if you're looking for a set program to achieve your goal. I've been following his 10km one for a few weeks and loving it.

Good luck with it, though. Let us know how you progress.

this is a good post

I haven't posted here in a while, but things are going well. I'm still on track to running 21 km in September. Just did a practice 5 km race and my 5 km time right now is just under 23 minutes (HUGE improvement from just 25 days ago). Super excited!

nice job my friend,

WOW! I really love that video, thanks for sharing it.
