Training Day

If there's one thing I've learned so far on this journey, it's that the quest is much easier if you don't go it alone.

I am sooooo sooooo soooooo fortunate for all of the support I've received from all angles.  Beyond belief.

My trip to the gymnasio this morning reminded me of just how lucky I am in one particular aspect of my adventure.

Today my training session kicked my ass.  Everything was harder than I'd remembered; just plain difficult.  No particular idea why today was more of a bear than the others.  Five minutes in I was drenched in sweat, and therefore equally saturated with grumpiness.  I can't stand feeling weak.

If I had been at the gym by myself, I no doubt would have bailed.  No question.  However, there was zero chance that was happening, if my trainer had anything to do with it.  As the hour wore on and I wore out, it was truly only the pushing by my saint of a trainer that kept me on those machines.  Today it was his will, not mine, that got me through.

Tomorrow will be better.  And if not, I am not above harnessing the strength of others.  I am one lucky, lucky girl!
