Quote du jour: “Frustration is the first step towards improvement. I have no incentive to improve if I’m content with what I can do and if I’m completely satisfied with my pace, distance and form as a runner. It’s only when I face frustration and use it to fuel my dedication that I feel myself moving forwards.”
- John Bingham
Exercise du jour: Going to try again for the 4.5 mile jog. I will do what I can do. Each time I fail, I fail a little farther than I did before. So it counts as progress even if I have to walk partway. Just as long as I'm out there going for it.
Done! It got later and later, and I started to wonder, but I made it with over an hour to spare.
*swoons*
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
"Each time I fail, I fail a little farther than I did before."

"Each time I fail, I fail a little farther than I did before" - isn't that the sign of success looming just around the corner?

You are not failing, you are growing and accomplishing, working your way up toward a goal.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I like the picture, too.
I love Fridays on your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the run!
Mmmmmmmm. Fridays:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm learning that "FAIL" isn't always a bad thing in workouts--it means you pushed yourself past your limits. Often a good thing!
Mmm, nice!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, well done on the run as well. :)
Yum - thanks for the eye candy. I can feel my teeth decaying at this very moment (and a whole lot of other reactions too that I shouldn't write about here).
