This is just a brief report on my gym work today. It was cardio day. It took me 100 minutes to get in my 5 miles. As you can see, I was in a bit of a hurry. 😅
Today I forgot my earbuds so I just enjoyed eyeing the beauty of the outdoors as well as doing some people watching.
As they left their cars to walk into the gym it was so neat seeing people who were just like me, mere mortals and rank amateurs who love getting fitter. We feel rewarded simply by getting to the gym and trying our best. You have to take whatever talent you have, train as hard as you can, and then see what happens. We must all find that edge between doing just enough to accomplish our goals and doing just a little too much and undermining our efforts. You quickly learn that sometimes enthusiasm is your greatest asset and at other times your greatest liability. Goals can never be too high, but expectations can!
At any rate, I loved getting in my daily step count and then rushing home to enjoy the sunshine and work in the yard.
Even if I never climbed another mountain or ran another marathon, my workout schedule would be exactly the same. Very happy to do what I do. I know many of you are, too!
