“There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.” - Vincent Van Gogh
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire - or at least the entire interior of British Columbia. There is so much smoke, I can hardly see my hand infront of my face - and I live in Alberta! I have never seen anything so crazy in my life.
Needless to say, running class was out unless Amanda was prepared to carry the oxygen tank with her. It's bad enough that I had to use my inhaler like a Pez dispenser (http://www.pez.com/). I can't even imagine what THAT run would have looked like.
There is a lot of worry for me when I ponder breaking routine, missing a class, not following through...the fear is that if I make an excuse not to go, that the ability to make those excuses will become easier - how many days till working out becomes a habit?
The bright side of all of this of course, is that JDFT was completely accommodating to my situation. Amanda texted me, asking if I was going for a run and I replied no, but that I wanted to come in for a workout. There wasn't one in the plan, but they let me come in and workout. We did this amazing 20 minute "circuit on speed" and apart from some slip-ups from not knowing the actual exercise, I was able to complete the circuit. Then just for fun, I ran some steps.
I am so glad that I have found JDFT.
