On the weekend I came third at the SEQ Trail Running Short Course in Pomona.
Yay hooray :)
So let me tell you a story:
The last month has been a beautiful mess. I've had adventure after adventure, and opportunity after opportunity. I feel very fortunate to have a life so full, its been awesome! But as a result I've been feeling pretty darn tired!
It all came to a crescendo (hopefully!) last week when I decided to have a drink with a few of the athletes from Impact to celebrate our time away at the masters games in Canberra.
I'm not really a drinker, and my body is not good at recovering from drinks. So lining up on the start line Sunday i was feeling like a rusty bag of bolts, to put it politely.
So I was toeing the line with all intentions of hanging out at the back of the pack and taking it easy.
But, the countdown started and the gun went off and my body just did the thing. It was odd, because i was, like, not there. But my body just went 'all good I know what to do', and it did it.
So, the message of the story is that you will 100% become what you do most often. If you most of the time are too busy and treat your body like a trash can you will probably get good at drinking and treating your body terribly, and that will become your automatic. BUT, if you spend most of your time doing the work, doing your best, getting the runs in, fueling the body, then THAT will become automatic.
Little habits, day after day, create the person you are :)
What habits are you feeding today?
I'll be making more time for rest :)
