I have a hard enough time training and I have not recently gone through major surgery.

Clearly we are all hard on ourselves, that why we take on such challenges. and the ting is, meg, we succeed. it's jsut a nother challenge for you to push through. and candy is so full of protein - as is ice crem cake.<BR/><BR/>this weekend i was on the run course of a half when the guy i was passing (oh yeah i was passing him!) started complaing about the heat (it was hot) and such. i told him - at lest he can feel the heat - at least he can feel the pain. so the next time your ego needs that kick - you tell it - at least you can do it! 45 minutes is better than 44! and next week - I bet you can do even more.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14720421614665005434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-56705727625820164442008-05-06T13:00:00.000-07:002008-05-06T13:00:00.000-07:00I meant that I would try to listen to my body too....I meant that I would try to listen to my body too...I don't want to listen to yours :)Alilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197122641986359703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-34092190352688433532008-05-06T10:16:00.000-07:002008-05-06T10:16:00.000-07:00Being a little humble can be a good thing.

Eventually the body just says "enough already!" <BR/><BR/>It's hard to give up that power you know you have inside and the ability to push through no matter how bad the pain. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there and give yourself a break. I know the training experts always say you should try to find something else to fill your spare hours like going out with friends, doing something crafty, etc so you don't feel like "AH, I need to workout!" Like I should talk...I never follow that advice.Lauren @ Sassy Molassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386991766331711286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-31929372041458394372008-05-06T08:15:00.000-07:002008-05-06T08:15:00.000-07:00I've had that conversation with my body, more than...I've had that conversation with my body, more than once actually. <BR/><BR/>Able's shirt idea is fabulous! <BR/><BR/>But this is what struck me most "If I keep getting in my own way, I am going to have setback after setback.

Af...Ooo, I actually know what you're talking about. After my concussion from snowboarding, it was really hard to go back to the hill and ride just for the hell of it. The mountain and I had a deal: I was going to kick ass on it and it was going to take it while giving me peace. <BR/><BR/>And then there I was, weak, scared, broken and useless sitting at the top of the mountain, embarrassed that my favorite mountain was seeing me in such a sorry state. <BR/><BR/>In the end, I've all but given up snowboarding. My two boards sit in my snowboard bag, unused in over a year now. <BR/><BR/>If I can't compete, even against myself, what's the point? When it comes to snowboarding, all I know is pushing myself hard and trying to get better fast. <BR/><BR/>It's really, really hard to redirect your perspective when that's all you've known and it's been so rewarding.<BR/><BR/>But if you want to keep going, keep getting better, and all that, you have to progress. You can't just jump back up to the top, even though you already know what it feels like to get there.<BR/><BR/>(hugs)prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208208987226715826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-43532324121441381262008-05-06T07:07:00.000-07:002008-05-06T07:07:00.000-07:00I've decided we need to get you a t-shirt that say...I've decided we need to get you a t-shirt that says<BR/><BR/>"Has anyone seen my kidney?"<BR/><BR/>You can wear that and your IM hat to the gym.
