Sunday Sunday Sunday

Sunday...my favorite day. I got up and rode our regular Sunday ride. Of course, this is supposed to be a social ride and never turns out that way. That was frustrating to me today. I was very tired after riding over 200 miles this week. But it ended well and that is what is important...except for my little crash in the parking lot where I ended up on the ground. Glad to be such humor for Hal, Leo and Kristi! Got up fine with just a little scratch of my knee.

Think I will start P90X with some modifications. I will only do the weights. I think what happened last time is that I had to do cardio plus my regular stuff. I need something different so I can lose 10 pounds and look buffer. I tried some shorts on today and they were too tight in the legs but gapped in the waist. So, to combat the depression from that I drank some wine and felt much better.

Lately, I have been so disappointed in myself. I don't seem to get anything done. I do not want to run or swim. Mostly, I want to ride my bike. I have White Lake Half in two weeks and the most I have ran is 6.7 miles. Well, if I know it is going to suck then I am prepared for it. I am hoping White Lake will get me pumped up for IM Canada. What if it doesn't? I do not think I will go to IM Canada because I am not really having as much fun as I used to. I do not feel willing to commit to the 15-20 hours a week of training.

Tomorrow, I am off working out. I plan to work and work out my P90X stuff on my work out schedule. Think I need something different.

Got this from my SparkPoints mailer...Thought it was perfect for how I feel lately.

There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There's no such thing as life in-between.- Pat Riley, basketball coach
Are You Giving Your Goals Your Best Effort? Your dreams deserve better than a half-hearted effort. Meet your goals with a weak handshake and they'll soon be waving you goodbye. Since you probably don't want to look back on a life full of "almost made it" memories, it's time for total commitment. Leave it all on the field, don't hold anything back. Is there anything more satisfying than pouring out your entire being, straddling the cliff, reaching your total limit, then looking up and realizing that oh-my-gosh-I-can't-believe-I-really-did-it? And is there anything more tragic than failing and realizing you could have done more? If you feel "tuned out" of your current life, that's okay. Make your first goal to build a life that you can get "in"-to. Then don't look back. Make every day count and live purposefully, live energetically, live completely.
