Motivated by Murphy

I woke up late this morning. I could have decided to go back to bed, aren’t those last few moments of morning sleep the best. Snuggling back into bed on that nice soft pillow. Yeah, it is great but no can do. I jumped out of bed and headed for the door, I had a 30 minute ride and was calculating the amount of time I’d actually have for my workout.

I’ve been working out 3-4 times each week. Getting up at 5:00am, driving to work, working out for 55 minutes and then showering and going upstairs to my desk. When I get up there I often see videos by Ted Murphy who is out there running Marathons man. That is fantastic for him and he is really motivating me to stick with my workouts. Not to run a marathon, I love my legs and am not going to kill them by slamming 10 times my bulk onto them repeatedly for 6+ hours (I figure my marathon time woudl be over the 10 hour mark). Anyway I’m still going out there and doing something. I might not be as excited as Ted is in his videos but I’m here to tell you, don’t hit snooze, don’t roll over but rather get up and get out!

P.S. Yes that is an episode of Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV podcast. Also something that motivates me as I workout. Gary’s passion is contagiousness.

Another person who has a contagious passion and who motivates me is Ed Gerety. Ed and I will be working closely together in the near future. I am so excited about this venture! Like Ed says Think It! Believe it! Live It!

Enjoying Some Cuban Food

Enjoying some Cuban Food
Photo-A-Day #1574

Tonight Allison, Eva and I went to dinner at Havana Cafe. We had a few places to go tonight and we were running late so it was a dining out night. Hate to do it too often but it happens. If you are in North Attleboro, you need to stop by Havana Cafe. It is one of those little hole in the wall places that has 5 tables and the most amazing food. The folks there always remember us too. Our server has a little girl who is 2 years old and watching Eva interact with her was so cute. They stood nose to nose and then did that little kid squat to the floor but not actually touching it. It was adorable.

Today started really crappy. I overslept and was headed to work on my usual telecommuting day. I hate losing that one day a week at home. I was planning to go to the gym as well but spending too much time last night finishing a few things. One of those things was downloading the Gary Vaynerchuk Podcasts. I hadn’t realized that Gary does other podcasts beside Wine Library TV. Don;t get me wrong I love watching Gary’s passion for wine but I’m not a big wine drinker. I think the other podcasts might be a little more for me, we shall see, tomorrow morning.

Today I had to go to two meetings. Before the first one I drank an EBOOST. No possible hint of sleepiness during the whole demo. The hardest thing about my job is staying awake. On the days when I have meetings like these, watching demos I’ve seen many times in the past, it is great having a little perk up to stay frosty.

EBOOST is a sponsor of The Ultimate IZEAFest Prize Pack. Also EBOOST is providing me with a Discount Code for 30% of online purchases of EBOOST. That is SPARK30 to be used on the EBOOST Online store for the next 30 days.
