Tired

The calf muscles if flaring again after two days of zero pain so I'm suffering a little more frustration. I'm truly tired. Not sure if its due to the intensive cross training or the frustration factor but today I've felt as if I've run a thousand miles. There are, of course, complicating stress factors currently in day to day life but that is nothing new and will never change.

I've met so many people in the last year who site one reason or another why they cannot make life changes "at this time." Do people really believe that there will ever be a better time? That stress will just stop manifesting itself in one way or another? That it is ever going to be easy to incorporate a training plan into their lives? Its an understanding that I suppose only comes with experience,,,training is one way of managing all those stressors. Nope, its never easy. Often, it would be vastly easier to say "I don't feel like it today." In the end it is conquering the daily struggles that are the greatest pay off.

Yeah, I spent my fair share of kicking myself in the head with stupid questions like, "Was this all worth it if I have to toss the goal." Not to mention the defeatest statements like "why bother, or all for nothing." The big picture is that it was, is and always will be about the journey. I've traded nothing away but bad habits and a crappy life style. So what, stumbling block right now, like I haven't already overcome so much greater obstacles to get this far!

Someone needed to blow a little sunshine up my dress,,,guess I'm up for the job. I've a workout waiting for me. Getting stronger makes you less weak!
