It is early, and already the sun is hitting upon me so hard I think that it is summer. I decided to take off my coat and all winter-specific gear to stay cool during the next 3 minutes. My first set of intervals was up the US West Trail, and they went quite well. The usual uncomfortable suffer feelings followed by a little rest to dream of a world where that was the last time I would feel that way. Then, without hesitation, I would do another, much to the total opposition from my body and mind. I hate the uncomfortable feeling of going anaerobic.
As I approached the end of my ride, I crested Jumbo Saddle. My grin was as wide as the horizon. I just had to suffer through the hard times to enjoy this moment.
There are times I really don’t want to do something, like go see a friend’s show. I mean, I am not into Brazilian dance, right? But after going, I found another appreciation for other ways of doing things. Later, as I drove back home, I had a grin as large as the setting sun on the horizon.
This weekend, I missed a big race I was looking forward to, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Just have to get through these hard times and look forward to next year.
