Coming out of a haze

I feel like I'm slowly coming out of a haze. I am getting over the insane head cold that I had, and getting more energy and motivation again. The past 2 weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me mentally more then physically. I get my numbers in, I just don't feel like I am getting quality reps in, almost like I'm static. That was until this week. My wife challenged me to help walk our dog a little more. I ran with him morning and nite saturdays and sundays. But she was walking him monday to friday each morning and most of the nites to. I felt like I didn't have more time to give but realized that was just an excuse. So on monday and wednesday nites when I take Jordan to his kung fu class at 5:30, I bring Doogie( I know doogie why doogie, but that was the name he came with). While Jordan takes his class I take doogie for a walk back around the hospital on the trail. Then when I get to the school I do laps running with him til he gets worn out. His stamina needs some work just like mine. Monday was beautiful and very warm after the walk we got 4 laps in and doog was spent and needed water so I walked one lap after to cool down and gave him water and waited for class to end. Wednesday was much cooler out, but still nice. That nite I got in 6 laps and by lap 4 where I usually start to struggle with my breathing, I just felt great. I relaxed and the next 2 laps were almost effortless. Thats the zone I used to reach when running in high school. It felt amazing. At least I know I'm slowly improving. I love having feedback, either positive or negative. I learn so much from both. That for me was my bodies feedback saying keep it up, things are getting better. I am so looking forward to boot camp this coming weekend. Last year was my first time attending and it opened my eyes to so many possibilities. I know I will still struggle with the fitness stuff but I look forward to the challenge now and like to give all I can. I have so much to learn and do in my journey as a martial artist. But I believe that if I can learn early on to push myself and exceed my mental limitations that I'll grow in ways I can't even imagine yet. Hope to see you all there as we finish the run, that feeling is truly incredible. Mr. Hamilton
