Adjust As Needed

Somedays are simply harder than others.  What you think will be 5 reps turns into 3.  What you think will be a nice easy run, turns into a poison-oak filled, whack-a-bush hike.

On the other hand, one day you drag your feet to the workout, try to find an excuse to not do it, and midway through you find yourself having a day of personal bests.

Adjust as needed.

Consistency is king here.  Show up, do the work.  Sometimes the practice is the only reason you show up, and that's OK.  Your short term reward center is not the best source of motivation.  Think longer term.  Your workouts are part of a larger picture that you're painting.  Your life story is the canvas here.  The training provides texture and a base to build that story on.

Work hard this year and adjust as needed.
