IMPATIENCE IS THE MOTHER OF...

IMPATIENCE IS THE MOTHER OF...

IMPATIENCE IS THE DEFAULT, once we get a big hit of endorphins. We look forward to the next day's training sesh, and...

... can't wait for our next race.

Then, 
a loss,
a setback.

The return to form isn't as fast as we'd like.

If we rush it,
skip steps.

Fitness is like baking a cake...

  • measured ingredients
  • exact environment
  • proper pan

It takes time.

Impatience, too often, is the mother of quitting.

I had to remind myself of that today as bigbadbob let me know...

I'm going to drop your a$$ today.

We'll see.

... I pulled away only to have him put 37 seconds on me during the final climb.

The reminding...

  • I'm still 5lbs heavy
  • I broke my PR
  • 37 seconds!

... is motivational, helps me be patient.
