Ok, this is the third day i have officially been blogging and i am getting a little discouraged. Even though i have been telling everyone about my blog i am still getting very little response. so, everyone, anyone, write me a little something if you are reading these.
When i left off yesterday i was on call and wasn't sure i was going to get to exercise anymore last night or this morning. well, i did get to shoot my bow 45 times yesterday evening and then the emergencies started. I saw a very sick dog and then saw a horse and finished about 12am. Needless to say when i got home it was too late to even notice my wife's beautiful haircut and hair coloring...it looks great. And after getting into bed about 1am i was too tired to get up and exercise this morning. So, i think i will go home, see Emily, and exercise a bit.
I have started loosing a little weight again, i think mainly because i was able to run for 3 straight days and cut back on what i was eating, i hope the trend continues but this is the toughest time to keep at it. What makes it so tough is that Tuesdays i am on call and usually up later than usual. then i have to try and catch up on rest for the rest of the week, so exercising gets put on hold. i guess i should quit wining and and give up a little sleep, because if i see an elk on my hunting trip i do not want my physical inadequacies to be the reason i don't harvest the animal.
Cameron Hanes talks about something he had pursued in his ultra marathon (www.cameronhanes.com) and that is Relentless Forward Progress (RFP). I think that is something we should all strive for in competition and goals, but more importantly life. we should always try to be going forward, progressing. The thing about RFP is that it does not contain "fast" but just forward progress. when we are tired and worn out, feel like we could just give up we should still keep pushing at the best pace we can and we will eventually get to the top of the hill and then it will be downhill for a while. So much for the deep side, i am trying to apply RFP to my working out routine so that when i spot a bull in the semi-backcountry of Montana i can close the deal, but if i don't i will know i gave it all i could. As Dr. Dre said "and even when i was close to defeat i rose to my feet" (from the song Still D.R.E off the album Chronic 2001)
