This wellness battle never ends.

The battle to fight our busy schedule and competing priorities.

Finally made it to Gold’s Gym yesterday.

Visit number four this month.

The math averages out to once a week.

This is not enough.

But it’s better than three, two, one, or zero times.

Take what you can get, just keep refusing to quit.

Be these four things when the going gets tough

When we find ourselves in the midst of especially trying times, be creative, be flexible, be forgiving, and most of all be willing to do whatever it takes to not quit altogether.

Walked an hour this morning.

Planned on running five miles.

Preach only what we practice.

The frustrations with progress, pain, and lack of fun

Staying healthy and overcoming obstacles happens at every level

 

The devil is challenging us all the time. And sometimes, more than others.

These are the most important tests we can take – the ones where the frustrations with progress, pain, and lack of fun are overwhelming evidence stacked in the devil’s favor.

Just yesterday, in the final minutes of a leisurely four-mile run, a cramp-like pain in the calf.

Crazier still, it was in the cool-down phase – an almost walking pace – just before the 800 meter cool down walk home.

Iced, stretched, ibuprofen – still hurts this morning.

No run today.

Hey devil, “Go to hell”!
