That Moment

I had that moment tonight during intervals. You know it. As I sprinted ahead toward the next pylon, I just felt tired, and I nearly slowed down.

For some reason, I thought about the fact that no one else was in the yoga studio to see me if I slowed down. It wasn't like at Velocity, where there were others in the class. No, only I would know. And that's when I realized I wasn't doing this for anyone else. I was doing it for me, so I would know if I slowed down. I would know that I hadn't pushed as hard I could, especially as I quickly approach 44.

So I picked up the pace again. In the end, I felt better for it, physically and mentally.
