Be Proud of Yourself for just Finishing

Sometimes you just have to make yourself complete a workout. It might not be your fastest time or your best effort, but it's necessary to finish it all. Today, I could have stayed on my couch with my labs and not done a thing. Well, after the vet visit of course. So, it's time to work out, and the excuses start. I've had a sinus headache for two days. I don't eat my exercise calories anyway, and I try to stay on point with my nutrition. Plus, it's hot outside to interval run on the track. Finally tired of the excuses, I just make myself get started, and I ended up walking an additional two miles when I got home on my treadmill in the basement. Was is my personal best? No, it wasn't, but I don't regret it, and I'll try again tomorrow. I'm just proud of myself for not giving in to the excuses.

    Dan John's advice on training is just show up and keep showing up.
