Justin Timberlake saved me today

Before I tell you how, let me tell
you how my morning started today.

I woke up around 8:30a this morning
knowing the brilliant lightening
and thunderstorms last night
left muggy and humid air.

I left the house around 9am and
felt pretty good considering my
ankle is still recovering from
an accident I had 3 weeks prior
where I rolled it.

Started at a good pace. Immediately
thought of what I was going to
accomplish today.

Thought about my SEO business and how
it often feels like the emotional
cycles I experience during my run.

Got wet with sprinklers, focused on
my running technique.

How often do we focus on our
business technique? How often
does starting a business feel
like we’re out of breath and having
to find our pace all over again.

Got to the canal and let my
border collie mix off his leash.
He loves that.

Business has been a journey. It’s
still a journey. I’m still so grateful
for all those obstacles along the way
and feeling out of breath at times.

Had to wait for traffic to pass
to cross a busy street and continue along
the canal. Patience is key.

I find that business has often times been
uphill for me. Sporadic, yet steady.
Knowing what my desired destination is,
yet feeling like it’s so far away.

Passed a woman on horseback… good
thing Bodie is on his leash.

How often do we get distracted my
our thoughts, new opportunities, of
self doubt?

I’m really feeling the heat now…
Coming up on the half way mark and
had to let Bodie off his leash.

Had to pass by piles of dirt
that earth movers had left behind
in their attempt to… what?

I have no idea… yet we got past them.

The turning point. Feels so good
because I know I’m half way there.
What about business? Have you turned
the corner?

Looked down at my speed and was amazed.
There’s no way I was trucking like that!
There must be a mistake.

Now I’m half way enjoying the heat, but
still feeling it.

Endurance is a funny thing. We almost
get immune to the heat. Almost.

Passed another runner with his dog.
Felt pretty good about myself…
Except that he was probably more than
twice my age.

Immediately had to leap while giving a
high pitched squeal as I passed what
could’ve been the largest spider I’ve
seen with my own eyes. Squealed because
it ran towards my foot as I ran past
rather than away.

Ran past a small bird in my path that
didn’t seem to want to fly away. I
assumed it was hurt and gave it ample
space. Beautiful thing with a yellow
breast.

And then it happened. My mind started
telling me I could still have a good
run if I stopped. The sun beat down hot.
I started thinking of stopping, just
a half a mile away from where I knew my
6 miles was finished.

I saw the last hill that signals only .10 miles
away from the finish. I literally was
ready to quit and start walking.

And then Justin Timberlake’s song,
lovestoned, started on my ipod.

THANK YOU!

Kickin’ beat. Kept me going. Finished!
Looked down at my GPS and low and behold
I ran 3 minutes faster than my fastest time.

How often are we ready to quit so close
to the finish?
Allow someone, something, Justin, anything
to give you that last push.
Then celebrate your victory.

I did. My best time ever.

And Ann, if you’re reading, I had a
tremendous brainstorm on your business.
Call me

xoxo,

Mia

P.S.
Know your destination and do
everything you can to get there.
You will.
