Peanut butter's good, right? Even when it's in Ben and Jerry's ice cream...
The end of the week training bombed. To the point that I serioulsy questioned wether or not I can commit to this. Plans didn't work out for my run on thursday, and then my shin splints flaired up really bad and I changed my mind as I was heading out the door for a run on Friday. Today was filled with family, coaching and the boys' soccer and karate. And then add Ben and Jerry's to it and I pretty much feel like crap.
There's a certain weight, one I won't mention until I'm far from it. Since the day of my first bike ride, I dropped 3 pounds. I vowed to never again see that weight # I once was. I don't care if i get 1 pound from it, but it's a goal to never reach it again. And to feel confident enough that I won't, I need to stay far far from it. Three pounds won't do that. Right now, that is my motivation. It's a goal I've set and I have prayed hard for the motivation I now have, I will attain this little easy goal. Along with my larger picture goals - my 3 disciplines.
I look forward to my work out, I get really excited to see how I do the next day. I'm really eager to see that endurance start going up. It's such a PIA when you're hurt and fear of it getting worse. I love google though, and found a bunch of stretches, the kind of doctor I could start seeing, and some tips for form and shoe fittings...all in about a half hour I feel better and motivated again!
Just like with my VBA2C journey, there will be bumps in the road. Challenges that make you wonder if it's all worth it. IT IS. I know it is. I know it will be. I want to look back and have a laugh at the expense of good 'ol shin splints and diversions MMUUAAHHAHAHA
