Sometimes I can feel so inadequate reading the tales of pro athletes and many others who are so much more talented than I am in sports. Then there are many family and friends I know who don&#39;t do any regular exercise at all who think I&#39;m like some freak to spend so much time and energy sweating. <br /><br />It&#39;s good to remind yourself of who you are and why you are doing this. In the end, that&#39;s all that matters.ShirleyPerlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173948098614625063.post-124998957059597522009-07-21T12:18:23.074-04:002009-07-21T12:18:23.074-04:00You should post that on your fridge, what a great post!Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07202296893022308340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173948098614625063.post-71992540124131395862009-07-21T12:15:58.154-04:002009-07-21T12:15:58.154-04:00I&#39;ll do my best...and I&#39;ll also try to remind you that you are awesome!

Doing something that most people don&#39;t even dare to try. No it won&#39;t be easy! But it will get easier and in the process you will have accomplished more than your current or past self ever dreamed of..

There, you&#39;re reminded;) <br /><br />Don&#39;t be so hard on yourself all the time. When doing &#39;all of this&#39; just remember that normal people don&#39;t do &#39;all of this&#39; - they&#39;re lucky to workout 3x/week for 30 min. You&#39;re pushing pretty dang hard.Missyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15398496906384738920noreply@blogger.com
