Day 69 - "I Believe"

I don't know where this time is going but it's 69 days until the big day. I am training hard and eating clean. I was having doubts last week as to whether I will be ready and happy with the way I look for the big day but I spoke to Tony and he feels that I will be ready, actually he feel like I can win 1st place.

Today I trained my biceps, triceps and abs and I am beat. I also work up this morning and went to the track to run. I did 20 and 30 second sprints (those are so tough), I also ran up and walked down the bleachers. My plan is to do this every weekend. My husband came with me and mostly ran and did some spints. He suggested that we also try to do some suicides next month.

My plan is to work out intensely every workout and focus on the "mind body connection" and visualization. During yesterday's workout I listened to the same song over and over while I did deadlifts. I really don't like doing deadlifts and I had to do 20 and 15 reps, which I really don't like too much. This song motivates me and it helps when I listen to it. The song is called "Am going all the Way", I also have another called "I believe". Those two songs always gives me an extra push when I am working out. I found this out when I was training for my last competition. One day I was working out and I was beat and "I believe" came in my IPod and I just got this extra energy that I didn't know I had. I wish I had more songs like that. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I need to get some new music on my IPod. I find that when I am doing cardio, listening to really fast soca helps my intensity. It's the West Indian background in me that loves listening to soca.
