Monday Memo: July 29

With the first (and easiest) fifth of the Road Race Series in the books, it's time for some motivation on Monday to push toward the 5 milers.


 

I am not going to stay at 5k.  I am not going to stay at 12 mpm.  I am going to put one foot in front of the other and get somewhere.  Anywhere.

Today marks the first day of school for Shelby County teachers.  Here's to not staying where I am.

Monday Memo

Memphis City Schools likes to put out "Monday Memos" to all the teachers, so I am going to start putting them out occasionally to my readers.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  Hug a teacher.  I got a free lunch.  I think back to hearing myself saying "I can't have that, or that, and definitely not the chips," and I'm thinking why not?  Why can't I have that one bag of chips?  It's not going to kill me.  It's not going to make me fat.  I work out every day and I eat healthy.  I deserve it.   But then later on in the day a student said to me: "Ms. Snyder, you have a muffin top."  Made me work so much harder during my workout.

Speaking of workouts, here's today's motivation:

"Remember, there are things you think you cannot do.  You have no idea how strong you are until you try. Make the effort."
