Today is the first day of the "real" plan. It's official. Day one, week one of the countdown. And have I done my ride yet - here at 3:00 (30 minutes before all five kids are home from school)? No. I am in a funk. It is cold and rainy. It doesn't feel like an auspicious way to begin. I am behind on my self-set schedule in terms of both workouts and posting (having not yet even done my Sunday summary from yesterday OR last week.) I have been walking around in a bit of a daze after reading this completely unexpected and amazingly brave post.
I am going to ride today. I am going to write my summaries, tomorrow if not today. It will stop being cold and rainy at some point. It doesn't matter about being in a funk. It doesn't matter whether any part of it is auspicious or not. It's ok if I'm wound up and need to know my kids are home safe and sound before doing something for myself. If that's the starting point, then that's the starting point, right? Dinner is already set and organized. Getting back to chores, homework, and dinnertime "tell us about your day" will be a relief, not an obstacle. If I want to, I can ride and help my youngest study his lines for the play. He loves to be with me when I train. My littlest training buddy. We can all gently work our way into our routines, both old and new. Even on a rainy, funky, disjointed day. Not the DAY ONE I was expecting. More like a day one. Still. PG here I come.

Hey we all have those days. You seem to be dealing better with yours than most. I read the link, I'm not sure what to say. It was powerful.
You'll be back in your routine in no time. Hang in there.
