Juggling Act-Putting it in Perspective
Having one of those mornings where I’m a little on the slow side. I’ve been awake since 4:45 a.m. and somehow I still don’t feel quite awake. Maybe I’m feeling the effects of my deep tissue massage I had yesterday. Well, I have one week of working out and running behind me. It was a good week. I took my long run on Sunday and increased my running time to 1 hour and covered a total of 6.5 miles during that time. This week has started out on an unsual note, my routine is off due to other circumstances around me. This present situation brings to mind flexibility and discipline. Those two terms don’t go hand in hand whereas I am concerned. My boys are busy with school activities, social activities and sports. There is always something to do, someplace to go and having a set routine of "workout" time is not practical. I’ve been thinking about my goals and what will be required of me to attain those goals on a personal level. Dedication, discipline, flexibility, being open minded enough to go with the many surprises life throws your way and staying motivated through it all, quite a juggling act. Suddenly, my simple goal of getting back into my size 0’s entails a whole lot more than just showing up to the gym.
