“Off” Today

My continued struggle with actually stretching has to stop.
I’m “off” today; it’s a rest day. Probably the same for tomorrow. The deal is, that I want to take a mental break and not think about it either but the truth is that I have to…at least a bit.
Not stretching and pushing through an injury cost me in my upper body work this summer. I KNOW I need to continue to care for my body through rest and continually improved flexibility but I need to get serious or I’ll not be able to run my great race because of a “little thing”. Oh the irony that I’m willing to put in piles of hours to build my strength and endurance but not so quick to slow and stretch.
This isn’t a journal about my race as much as it is about me and my goals, strengths, shortsightedness-my process (life) as I look to do great things with my life. I need to do better at the nuances, the less glamorous, the “behind the scenes” stuff. Ug. I’ve stopped doing several things in my life that used to give me strength to be my best. Crap.
I’ve got some thinking to do.
