Not Again And Other Profound Thoughts
Like a wicked temptation, the images are played over and over again in the theater of my mind. I can see myself running competitively in a marathon. I always envision myself panther sleek and cheetah swift. The truth of reality always interrupts my fanciful illusions. The truth is at present I possess the swiftness of a three legged turtle. Everything I desire is within my grasp, there is only one problem it requires an uncomfortable degree of sacrifice, not to mention the struggle and pain.
(peek inside my world early this morning, lets skip the part about funky mornings breath)
I was content to be one with the mattress; it was one of those I don’t care if the buzzards pick my old carcass kind of mornings. Not exactly the mentality I should be feasting upon. It took a few moments for my woman on a mission, get fired up mode to engage. Today was all about the running of the intervals, this fulfilled my need for speed. It was short, sweet and slightly sweaty session. We started out doing 8 repetitions at 200 meters. We finished with 5 repetitions at 400 meters. I actually finished quite strong thanks to Kid Rock’s song Warrior that somehow got stuck in that crazy ride of a brain that I possess.
I kept vacillating from feeling the pain to feeling no pain. I guess that would make it a wonderfully painful experience. In the iron power department we focused on building a better back. Then center of my universe needs to be hard, tight and strong especially as I get ready to rock the gold years.
So I survived another training day, seriously you people really do need to pray for this old gal. Life can be rough,it is one thing to be buffed but you gotta be tough and in my case I need some spiritual glue to hold it all together. Especially on those days when you feel like quitting but in your heart you know that the best thing to do is press through.
I hope each and every one of you realizes how special, precious and value you really are. Keep loving the wonderful skin you are in, you are so much more than the size of your biceps or the numbers on a scale. It’s all about the love in your heart, now share the love and be good to yourself.
