They say “that the road to failure is paved with good intentions.” This is how I feel my week went. I had a lot of good things planned this week as far as jogging goes, but none of them worked out. I was supposed to go on a 5 mile hike on Saturday, but it snowed. I was going to make it up for it on Monday (my early day at work), but traffic got in the way. My only saving grace is that with the traffic I had the presence of mind to go to the mall and start walking some laps while waiting for my ride to pick me up. I could chalk it up to bad circumstance, but I think it was bad planning on my part. This week I learned I need to have a plan B in case plan A doesn’t work out, because I know that plan C is to sit on my lazy butt and do nothing. This is how I got myself to where I am today!!
I also have an issue of after work training. I am a commuter and so I leave relatively early in the morning and I come home relatively late. I am not a big fan of jogging in the dark, but I am going to have to get over that. I guess I am going to have to get a good jogging flashlight or something. It gets really dark at night where I live (not a lot of street lights in the forest).
Anyhow, I am looking forward to a better week coming up. I think with a bit more of better planning I will have some better output. I am always looking for good ideas. What do you do when your plan A doesn’t work out?
