Thanks for putting those words to the screen. You give me some inspiration for blogging about some of the reason, maybe THE biggest reason I've not run much this year, at least to this point. Now I've got some ammunition to consider for my own version of THE struggle...where did it all go..that runner from last year...where did I fall? I keep asking myself and looking for answers.Randy - Maniac #788https://www.blogger.com/profile/17252189707697252110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135889604674524651.post-43328888791961369282008-03-27T09:30:00.000-05:002008-03-27T09:30:00.000-05:00You know, I think we all do comparisons of ourselv...You know, I think we all do comparisons of ourselves to others...it's normal. I know I look better than a lot, but those that look better than me...well...you know. <BR/><BR/>As far as the feeling down. I think this time of year is particularly hard. That transition time from winter to spring, just wanting spring so bad. I know I get into really bad places and really bad feelings. Just want to go home and crawl into bed and skip the workout. But you know, if you get the workout in, as you discovered in getting up and going, you feel better after the workout. I'm with you on not being a morning person, yet I'm forcing myself to the gym (only once this week, I've reset the alarm every other day, bad!!) in the morning and I feel better after a good workout. Of course I keep telling myself this is a "fall back" week, so it's fine to cut back on the workouts (but I should still be doing that crosstraining maybe). Hopefully next week I can get back to the morning thing. Get yourself working out though, I definitely think you'll realize how much better you feel and soon it will become a habit.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638725150045549860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135889604674524651.post-42728302926348016302008-03-26T22:39:00.000-05:002008-03-26T22:39:00.000-05:00Molly my dear - you are much more normal that you ...Molly my dear - you are much more normal that you think!!! I compare myself all the time with everyone around me - my husband, my inlaws, my friends, my family, total strangers... It's one of my biggest flaws, but as a woman I think it's perfectly normal. But what makes you unique is all that matters, not what everyone else is doing!!! All you can do is take one step at a time. Sounds like today was perfect and I give you total props for getting a morning workout in. I really think that it's one of the hardest things to do, but by far one of the most beneficial ways to start a day. You just don't have the chore lingering over you for the rest of the day. Hope tomorrow starts off just as good! I'll be thinking about ya!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135889604674524651.post-18269614702453959732008-03-26T15:18:00.000-05:002008-03-26T15:18:00.000-05:00Here's my $0.02, something I have been meaning to ...Here's my $0.02, something I have been meaning to write about lately that I've realized: to be able to stick to a workout routine, I truly believe you have to exercise for exercising's sake. Not to just hurry and get through it, only to go on with your day or to quick get home and eat dinner or whatever. You really have to focus on how the exercise is an end in and of itself, nourishing your body and mind. It can't just be a means to an end of looking better or what have you.<BR/><BR/>Does that even make any sense? I need to compose an actual post about it once I've thought it through a little more eloquently. Anyway, your struggle kind of made me think about it. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you're not the only one making unhealthy comparisons these days...seems to be a fairly universal thing for a lot of us this month, for whatever reason. Some kind of weird vibe is out there I guess!Andra Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061332679414246811noreply@blogger.com
