M3:D61 The Journey
 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Lately I have been just laying it out there regarding my feelings. I have not really planned to go where I've gone, it has just happened. It is part of the journey that I am on in life. I've had some experiences recently which have caused me to be reflective. Instead of wallowing, I've focused myu efforts on telling you all the things I am learning and how they apply to this fitness journey each of us is on. The journey is an important part of the process. The journey will define your future actions. Where you turn and what you take with you is going to be effected by the decisions you make today. I read all the time on blogs about someone making a mistake with their nutrition and without a doubt each person shows alot of regret. The journey should teach you that regret is not a place you want to live for any length of time. It doesn't further your journey at all. That is a key point to remember. Do the things that further your journey and avoid the things that bog down your journey. Friction is inevitable and can cause you to slow down, but it shouldn't derail you. I mentioned relationships yesterday and gave the example of having someone ask you for space and time away. Most people react with negative emotions about something like that, but I see it differently. I think that each situation is different and unique. You can't resist those types of things. What happens if you resist the request for time and space? Well, I guarantee the person walks away from you? What happens if you give them their time and space? Potentially they deal with their issues and return to you. It is a simple case of one way the best you get is a break up while the other the worst you get is a break up. Always make decisions on your journey that put you in the best possible position. Don't limit your chances. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carbs! Yes, lots of carbs today. I love the weekends for that reason! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 I did a 2.1 mile run in the morning and another 1.0 mile run in the late afternoon. I have the running bug. I can't stop myself from running. I guess it just fits with my mood lately. I am very reflective so running is therapeutic. I enjoy getting out and running away my troubles. Life is interesting these days, that is for sure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 The journey is what you make it, so do your best to make it good. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Which part of the journey do you feel you still need to master? Comment this post to answer the question. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You are a wonderful person, with so much to say, I dont want to miss one post of yours. And yes, running is therapeutical and it is even training,
Run hard or go gome,

So true - it is all about making the most of the journey. I find running to be therapeutic as well.
Hope everything works out for you, Michael. Hugs, Lil

Mike,
Really have been processing your posts this week. Thanks for putting it out there. As for me, it always seems to come down to my nutrition. It is so easy to get off track... Lunch out, business travel, social dinner. I need to master how to handle all that.
