The Detour

Well, yesterday was one of those days.  We had some friends in town, so met up with them and a few others at a local brewery to do their tour, and then went out to eat, and then to a friend's house for board games... much of which was a bit spur of the moment.  We had a workout scheduled for yesterday, but then there was beer and rum drinks that were on fire, and more beer.  So yesterday's workout has been moved to today.  Apparently, we aren't quite in the training groove yet.

It's easy to get discouraged when you don't meet your own expectations, especially so early in the process.  It's also easy to blame others for leading you off the path you've set for yourself.  Goals would be so easy to achieve if you lived in a vacuum free of all other outside influences.  But, of course, that's not the case.  It wouldn't be any fun if it were.  I have the feeling we are going to be meeting with a lot skepticism in our upcoming venture, and maybe even a few saboteurs, but that's the fun of the challenge.  Succeeding in spite of these things, conquering them.  At least that's what I'm telling myself today, as I prep for the workout that should, technically, have already been completed.  Onward and upward!
