When all else fails, listen to your coach. Sometimes that’s the hardest thing to do even for me. Wax on / Wax off! My coaches last words to me. I needed this. You try to reason with yourself, “I’m trying hard so why can’t I just do it?” “Why does it come so easy to others?” “I should just quit!” “This is too hard!” “I’m never going to get this.” We focus on what we CAN’T do right now instead of what we CAN do that we ONCE couldn’t do. Sometimes we are able to take big steps and other times smaller ones. So what if it takes longer? Eventually we will get there as long as we don’t quit on ourselves so just enjoy the journey. Today I had to push past the little voice telling me to quit and remind myself that I’m still a work in progress. Each day I have an opportunity to get one step closer to my goal. When I did my first tri in 2014 I could barely swim and now I can swim 2.4 miles even if it’s slow. It is worth celebrating!! Are you celebrating the small victories as much as the big ones? #anythingispossible #dontstopwhenitgetshard #fiftyandstrong (at Gold's Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boct54SBI7K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gmetxdk4bpqj
