Keep Moving Forward

run thorough the mud? check!
Today has been... rather uneventful yet very fulling at the same time.
First, take the boys to school.
Then crochet and watch HTTYD
Continue crocheting and watch Speed Racer
Get off my lazy bum and run for 3 to 4 miles in the mud.


Let me make something clear right now. slipping and sliding while trying to run is much much harder than just running, even for 6 miles. But it is worth it!


When exercising  there are several obstacles to pass
1. When first starting, it feels like you can't do anything, trust me I know. It seems impossible that you will ever get to your first goal. Keep Moving Forward.
2. After you get over the aching muscles it seems like you aren't doing enough, because now you can't feel it anymore. Trust me, you are still getting strong. Keep Moving Forward.
3. Now you are stuck in a rut, you keep doing the same thing over and over and you are so bored you want to die. Shake it off.  Mix it up. Keep Moving Forward.
4. Your goal is in sight, but you can't seem to reach it. Keep Moving Forward.
5. AT LAST! You have reached your goal! Good Job! Keep Moving Forward.
6. Set a new goal for yourself. Keep Moving Forward.
But I have some bad news... for your new goal, you may be able to skip step 1.. but steps 2-6 must be repeated every day. Maybe this is to teach patience. Maybe this is to teach reliability. Maybe we are just learning how to use our stubborn natures. But what ever it is... Keep Moving Forward.
