Home from my workout. I hate running, the treadmill is my least favorite torture machine.
I'd rather do 10 hours of Bikram Yoga, straight, next to the token smelly guy in class.
I'd rather do 200 Burpees.
I'd REALLY rather play a competitive sport, which is usually how I get my workout. But not today, not during my commitment to getting into my best body, for that I'll follow Coach Michelle, quietly eat my meals, drink my shakes and take my supplements. Want a Savage Girl Body, follow what works!!!
Today I learned:
Rest is important
I need an arm band for my iPod, I tend to be a little spastic on the treadmill, and my sister, who is running next to me doesn't want a pink bedazzled case in the eye.
Even though it wasn't a perfect workout, because there is no such thing, I was able to connect with feeling a sense of accomplishment. I was reminded by my cool down song, Superwoman by Alycia Keys, "Everywhere I'm turning, nothing seems complete, I stand up and I'm searching for a better part of me."
A reminder that my old "ways of being" (stay tuned for a blog post about this), would have me believe this workout sucked since I didn't perfectly run at the speed or distance or grade.
Instead, in writing this empowered, joyful and grateful.
That's what doing it anyway looks like for me!
