Regardless of how I feel...and when all signs say stay in bed,
I've been making myself get up at an unearthly hour to train.

In all kinds of weather:

And when I feel my drive is disabled:

I keep seeing things I need to work on:

I also feel a slight panic when I realize my first race is only 2 months away and I'm no where close to where I'm supposed to be.

And so...regardless of it all, I will continue to get up early and battle the thoughts in my head.

After all....

 isn't that where the majority of our struggles occur?

My vehicle IS road worthy;)

With the exception of the temperature...that was for real.
