Well after a week of not doing a lot of exercise I finally got off my butt on Sunday and went for a really short jog! Hurray for baby steps, this is where its been all heart. Its hard to stay motivated when you naturally an inactive person and you've been slacking all week, okay for most of my life, so for me to kick it back into gear really takes a lot of effort on my part. Its also hard mentally when you go for a jog and you feel like you have gone back to the beginning. My runs are shorter and I need a lot more breaks then I did a couple months ago.
I am a big fan of the Olympics and am an ardent Canadian so while I am watching the Olympics I think about their goals and their dedication to those goals. They too have distractions of life, those days you feel blah, or feeling under the weather. There are those weeks where its bitterly cold or you just can't get in the training time you need. I am so not in their league, but when you watch them on the slopes you can feel a piece of the blood - sweat - n - tears that it took for them to get there.
To know that they spend their life in many cases working to this one goal; that one moment, in many cases only 30 seconds of actual time to show the world that they are the best. Its fantastic to watch them when they take the gold, and its heart breaking to see them when they make a mistake, quite often a minor one, but when you are competing against other elite athelites that is all it takes to end their run.
In a few months I too have the goal of biking 200km in one weekend, to bring awareness to prostate cancer and the battles that those who have cancer must fight. They don't have the luxury if failure, to them failure means death. There is no second chances. Please help me bring awareness to the affects of Prostate Cancer and support me in my goals of biking to Vancouver and my Ride to Concquor Cancer.
