Frustration has to be met with determination. Survival is a win. I reason that the more success one has, the harder it is to get that incremental increase. So while on my first run, I had an infinite percent increase in everything, and subsequent workouts were jumps ahead, now these improvements are harder won. I’m also in the middle of a difficult stretch of days. I now know that these come and go and that makes it easier to accept. Sometimes I just survive, complete a workout, and move on. Other times I have success to celebrate. It may sound like I am complaining sometimes, but I want to tell the unvarnished truth on this show, and not make it sound like an easy ride. Coming to terms with difficulty and resistance is the only path to success. Without obstacles, I don’t think I could call it accomplishment. What I am trying to do is difficult, but not impossible. I’m trying to prove that.
