So last night, I was just finishing up my 2nd hour in the gym. I had done my core training circuit, 2 miles of speed training on the treadmill, 45 minutes on the bike, and was about to do a 30 minute cool down of walking. It was at that moment that my wife, Erin, came down the stairs and asked if I wanted to do a circuit with her. What?!? Seriously, I've got nothing left over here, and you want me to do more?
Although she gave me a chance to get out of it, I agreed to do it before calling it a night. It did make me think about how amazing the human body and human brain are. Although I thought there was no way I could complete that circuit, I did it and I am better for doing it. It also showed me the value of having someone else to be held accountable to. 2 hours of intense activity is good, but 2 hours and 15 minutes can be better. I am grateful for what Erin did last night and I look forward to the next time!
My challenge to you is, the next time you don't think you have anything left, dig down deep and push through. You will come out the other side better because of it.
