Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Decent 25-mile bike ride yesterday with a breakfast meeting in the middle.
And a stop at the bank drive through (above)

Nationals are in two weeks. Ain’t gonna happen.

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”!

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.

Obstacles. Road blocks. Walls. Injuries. Pain. Temptation. Impatience. Frustration.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg on the long list of excuses to quit.
Foot challenges.
A decade and then some.
Invisible to 99.99%.
Foot pain was too intense to run.
Rode bike 25 miles instead.
To Church and back.

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.
