Dubai [Day 17]

'Just Do It'- The slogan made famous over 20 years ago by nike; and also the thought that crossed through my head yesterday at the Nike Outlet as I purchased this pair of red canvas nike shoes:

Day 101 - April 11

Prior to spending a little bit of money that I don't have, I managed to have a fairly productive day. Starting on a new training cycle, Joey and I hit the pavement for a nice 8km run. It feels good to be back running and starting with a light run definitely helps in trying to manage a bummed knee. For those of you that don't know, I injured my knee snowboarding  in January and have been nursing it back to full health over the last few months.

Keeping with the healthy theme, I was introduced to an amazing book today titled 'Rawvolution', a gourmet cooking book by Matt Amsden. Being a vegetarian, this book gives awesome alternatives to many popular foods, as well as following a raw food diet.

Before I go, I want to leave you with my favorite motivation nike quote to go with the potd:

“All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you’re not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you’re the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no’s become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them yes.”
