every day is a come back

Each day is an opportunity to improve on the previous day. When we are sick or injured, we miss the workouts and long for recovery. We cant wait to get back out there and get in the workout. If we have been away for an extended period, the come back is more difficult. The older we get, the longer it takes to duplicate the same level of fitness with each come back.

The joy in the come back can be found in the daily routine. Being grounded in the program gives us an opportunity to see continuous progressions. Writing it down gives us a hard copy of these progressions. Experiencing, feeling and seeing physical progressions gives hope and further momentum that lead to still more progress. A body in motion stays in motion. There are bad days. Bad days are the best days. If we can mentally check out and physically grind through the bad days, progress continues.

After a long lay off, running up a hill and feeling the oxygen debt that tingles then tightens the forearms, and works its way through the body like a large hand gripping us ever so tighter.... is a very welcome feeling.
