What if it feels like we will never make progress again?

Everyday is a bright sunny day, if we live with constant gratitude

 

When it seems there hasn’t been any progress for a long time and maybe there never will be any progress again – what do we do next?

Well, when we work diligently and with great patience and effort we eventually do make progress.

How can we not?

It (almost always) never happens in the time frame we wish for.

Haven’t seen this morning’s weight on the scale in over two years.

Never thought it would take this long to get back.

The long way is the short cut.

Am leaning towards casually shooting for the 100-miles-in-a-month challenge.

Requires four weeks of five runs per week, five miles each run.

A creative carrot to get a base for the late sumer comeback.

Setbacks are merely opportunities to extend the comeback.

Have missed three track meets so far this year.

In January, those big meets seemed realistic – until the setbacks.

Listening to our body is not just for freaks of nature

No Achilles’ tendon pain yesterday. None on the two earlier Iowa runs either.

Listening to our body is not just for freaks of nature or Olympic athletes.

Like any other relationship we should listen intently, accept feedback, and make changes as necessary.

Impossible to improve if we don’t listen.

No?
