I often start my day by visiting Quote Garden HERE. I click around until I find a quote which resonates with my current mood or outlook. I didn't make it far down the alpha list when the word ACTION grabbed me.
1 week post Boston Marathon and the word ACTION is on my mind. When I started my journey to Boston 1 year and 16 weeks++ ago I took ACTION. I had a clear plan, I worked every day toward that plan, if I hit speed bumps along the way I regrouped and kept moving. Some natural speed and running ability helped, yes, but at the end of the day it was my decision to take ACTION that helped me make it there.
If you have ever been to an oraginzed sporting event you have heard this cheer.
Simple and silly cheer yes, but say it over and over and it could just become the MANTRA you need to start today.. Need some additional Inspiration... I found these for you :)

- Is there something you have been meaning to do? A Goal that seems so far away that you have no idea how you will ever get there. Maybe, just maybe, you need the courage to take that first step. Ready, set, ACTION!!!

Woohoo, now I'm all pepped up and ready to cheer!! hehe
I like this one:
"Never mistake motion for action. ~Ernest Hemingway"
Hemingway nailed that one...
ha! That cheer popped into my head as soon as I saw the word ACTION!!!
Love the quotes and yes Hemingway had it right there!!!
There are a few things I am reaching for that I really need to put into action....planning now!
Great post!
I loved: "Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned."
Wow, I needed that today! The smaller things I do today (changing diapers, cleaning out the car, a 4 mile run) are just as important as the big things I want to do in the future!
What a great way to start the day!
Heehee. Flashback to my cheering days!
This is just what I needed today, thank you.

Thanks for the quotes! It's fitting on the eve of the lottery announcement of the NYC ING Marathon. Either I'm in through that, or I've got my charity entry in my back pocket. This post was perfect. I'm finally taking the step to run my dream race. First marathon. Where I live.
GREAT inspiration!! Thanks for the quotes Mel! :)
Thanks for all the inspiration today! I am going to post a few on my quote page. :)
