How have you been doing? I have been extremely busy these past couple weeks, so I apologize for being out of it for a while. This blog is new to me and I am trying to find the right rhythm for it!
I have been in the midst of training for a marathon (in addition to doing PiYo). I am by no means a fast runner. Especially this time around for my marathon training, I feel really slow since I am training with a heart rate monitor (via The Maffetone Method). My running has to be below my set HR, which for me is 150. That can make for slower than normal running.
Fitness is tough. Running is tough. Eating clean is tough. It’s a sacrifice you have to be willing to make. It’s easier to watch TV or sleep in than to get up and do your workout.
Why do we do it?
Why do we choose the road less taken rather than the popular easy path?
One word: GOALS
You have a goal.
I have a goal.
We work to ACHIEVE.
Some days it might be easier to get up and workout. Other days it will be a struggle. Last week was a struggle for me. I’ll admit that sometimes I achieved my goals, other days I did not. BUT THAT’S OKAY!
No matter how slow I go or how much I have to modify my form, PROGRESS IS STILL PROGRESS.
As long as you’re facing the direction of your goals, you are going down the right road. Be patient. Be persistent. Never forget why you started.
Keep going.
Keep moving.
You are making progress!
