respecting the process

Goal Crushers,

Lately your boy has been quiet…

I feel like I don’t have much to talk about. Whether I want to believe it or not I am still injured from the accidents…

The races that I planned to run throughout the year, I couldn’t run them and lately my neck has been spazzing out on me…

To add insult to injury I stepped on the scaled and I’m back up to 300 pounds!

::Shakes head:: Man, that sucks… Something told me to stay away from the scale.

A part of me wants to bitch, moan, and blame it on the car accidents… Another part wants to tell myself to get over it, there’s nothing you can do but to go through the healing process and come back better than ever.

And there’s other part of me that is in total in denial about the whole situation. This part of me is so in denial that it does stupid stuff like buy a 3-month subscription to the local CrossFit Gym, like my neck and shoulder is going to allow me to do burpees.

Or sign up to raise $9000 into run in the Boston Marathon, when I don’t know if I’m going to be healed and in marathon shape by then.

See what I mean in denial…

I need to accept where I am in the process and move on from there…

I need to tell myself the truth…

The truth is that I’m not good, I’m not 100% healed from my injuries …

The fact that I’m not 100% is what pisses me off those most…

I want to, need to, yearn to be back to the scheduled regular program  but no matter how much I try to play it off and be nonchalant about it…

I’m not 100% or even 80%…

My best estimate is  I’m about 65% and that’s what hurts the most…

Telling yourself to walk it off, fake it till you make it and It’s not working… Because you honestly can’t do it right now.

::Sigh::

Why do we get upset when we don’t respect the process and it doesn’t work out?

Like we’re  immune to not following the process… Boy what a valuable lesson I am learning right now…

RESPECT THE PROCESS OR IT WILL DISRESPECT YOU…

I thought I already knew this principle, hell I wrote it in the 300 Pounds and Running Creed

I guess it’s best to take your own advice… Especially when you need it

Respect the process Martinus…

Though we live in the age of instant everything, the human body is slow to recover. So no matter how you want to get back to the regular schedule program, you will have to listen to your body and coast a while until everything checks out… Remember it’s a process, you’ve taken enough anatomy, and physiology courses to know how the healing process works.

Now that I vented about what’s going on with me and these car accidents, I want to open the floor up you…

What do you want me to talk about? Pick a topic any topic… What are you struggling with that I can help you with? Because you can’t possibly want to hear me talk about my injuries for the next couple of months or do you? Let’s have some dialogue, leave a comment below.

Util next time I’m 300 Pounds and Running
