Thanks Amy for the funniest post in a LOONNGG time (please note that Chickfila-eze is my LEAST favorite AI finalist)
I'm not trying to create some kind of drama...or sit back and watch what happens if I don't post....truth is that I'm just done posting here for a while.
My journal is to track my training through Goofy '09 and things are just gonna get pretty monotonous. I do 6-5-8 (or 10) for my runs right now in March...which will be the same in July...which will be the same in September...and actually all through training until that 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 stretch of long runs in Nov/Dec.
Sure I'm doing some interesting races over the next few months, but there are a lot of things I'd like to post and for various reasons cannot...and while I like seeing what's up with everyone else's world, i can just as easily post in those journals and follow along with everyone that way.
I'm one to change my mind a lot, but for right now this is how I feel.
Hope I don't come off sounding wrong, I'm not one to articulate very well. I just felt the need to post this since it'd be kind of wrong to just stop without explanation.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
I will close with this random thought of my own....
Training and completing any distance or race is about pushing yourself past your comfort zone, testing your own limits, doing things you never thought possible. If you aren't breaking a sweat, if your heart rate is not elevated, if you finish that day's training and don't have that "whew, THAT was a good workout" feeling, then it's time to rethink what you are doing.
I challenge everyone, including myself, to add that extra effort every time we are on a piece of equipment...in a class...on the road. Up the resistance for 1 minute, do a few extra reps (but don't sacrifice form ), sprint to that next mailbox and then return back to pace. It's about progressing towards our goals with determination and resolve...each day taking on a new challenge, while never looking back....
Relentless....forward....motion.
Take care
