I just got out of one of the worst yoga classes I’ve had in a long time. My butt got seriously kicked on that mat. I always find that a great morning yoga class helps me start my day on a good foot. But if I had a bad class… not good!
After unplugging this past weekend however, I made a commitment to my rejuvenated self to stop making excuses. To stop settling for mediocre because “I didn’t drink enough water,” because “I don’t have enough time,” because “that would never work here,” or because I’m afraid to have a difficult conversation. There will always be an excuse for why we can’t be great.
But that’s all they are: excuses.
It’s time to take ownership of our actions and our future. It’s time to have a friggin’ great day!

Athlete’s Log (May 26): My motivation for getting in a spin on the bike this morning was that if I didn’t I wouldn’t have time to hit the trails for a run this afternoon.
On a personal note, I accept your challenge. I am not sure if you meant it to be as such but I have decided to join you in solidarity to sweat five times per week.
