It gets
easier I keep telling myself.
After 45
minutes, not even to 20km I’m cooking.
In the hurt
locker. The aft end of the pain cave.
It’s
definitely at the zero degree mark outside. Beautiful. No rain. I forgot the
arm warmers, the toes are numb.
Another 45
minutes I keep telling myself. Get ‘er done.
Heart's pumping, I'm pushing. Legs are circling. Pedal stroke down.
Knowing is
believing. Sticking to the drill.
“The body
will follow the mind…”
I stay the
course. Yes, getting ‘er done.
Tomorrow’s
another day.
Each day
will get better.
Have to
keep going.
I do and complete
just under 1.5 hours on my road bike before 9:30 a.m. this morning.
Not
completely out of the hurt locker yet…
But at
least I’m on my way.
Training
for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer Challenge Course (160km a day) June
16-17, 2012.
