ARE YOU AT WAR?

I'M AT WAR.  Nobody knows it.  Instead my friends and neighbors say things like You're so dedicated or You're an inspiration.  Maybe I am, and that's cool...

... but, it's not about them or what they think.

It's my fight.

When I look at the pull up bar strategically placed in my bathroom door jam, I'm reminded of the battle.  It is there because I committed to do pull ups and pushups...

... every dawgawn day.

The first few are never fun, never, which is why it is so difficult to get started...

... I grab that dern bar and hang.

Up.
Down.

Then, it's 3 pushups for every pull up completed...

... I grudgingly assume the plank position.

Down.
Up.

In a few minutes, it is all over.  My muscles are full of blood and it feels so flipping good...

... that's why I go to war with myself.

Because I like it,
the challenge,
overcoming.

It's the reason I am going to go alone today and do intervals on a 10 mile rocky singletrack climb...

... nobody will know, but me.

Just like nobody will see all the work I put in before the A races on my calendar.
